Unipolar hemiarthroplasty versus bipolar hemiarthroplasty in patients with displaced femoral neck fractures. A four-year follow-up of a randomised controlled trial

Abstract: Purpose The treatment of choice for a displaced femoral neck fracture in the most elderly patients is a cemented hemiarthroplasty (HA). The optimal design, unipolar or bipolar head, remains unclear. The possible advantages of a bipolar HA are a better range of motion and less acetabular wear.

“…The bipolar hemiarthroplasty has been used to treat displaced femoral neck fractures in older patients, and it has been reported to provide patients with pain relief, functional improvement, and low revision rate [10,21]. Dislocation and dissociation are relatively uncommon but devastating complications.…”
