“…Most of the studies show a dominance of females which can be linked to high prevalence of osteoporosis among elderly women and hence susceptibility to fractures, particularly proximal femur fractures. [11][12][13][14][15][16] As far as age profile is concerned, the mean age reported by different studies ranges from years 17 to as high as 83.7 years 12 . Mean age of patients in present study is close to that reported by Daniel et al 13 and Deo et al 18 who reported the mean age as 69.7 and 70.5 years in their studies.…”

“…Difference in mean age of patients in different studies might be attributable to the inclusion criteria chosen by them and definition of elderly taken in different studies. For example Shekhar et al 12 in their study included all the patients above 70 years of age, however, Daniel et al 13 and Deo et al 18 included patients aged 60 years of above in their study. In present study though, we included the patients who were aged 65 years or more, however, the mean age was comparable to the studies that took 60 years or above as the criteria for inclusion.…”

“…(3) Among joint replacement options, hemiarthroplasty has less operative time and less blood loss. (3,4) Hemi arthroplasty is a procedure in which the neck and the head are replaced by unipolar (in which the stem is fixed to the head) or by bipolar prosthesis (in which there is a polyethylene bearing between the head and the stem so it offers modularity). The old design of hemiarthroplasty is a unipolar prosthesis , such as Austin Moore's and Thompson's stems, this design did not offer range of motion between the head and the stem so it has less range of motion and more dislocation rate.…”
