Dislocation of a hip hemiarthroplasty is a significant complication with a high mortality rate in elderly patients. Previous studies have shown a higher risk of dislocation in patients with neuromuscular conditions. In this study, we reviewed our larger cohort of patients to identify if there is a link between neuromuscular disorders and dislocation of hip hemiarthroplasty in patients with neuromuscular conditions. We have retrospectively analysed a single-centre data that was collected over 34 years for patients with intracapsular neck of femur fracture who underwent hip hemiarthroplasty. The study population was composed of four groups: patients with no neuromuscular disorders, patients with Parkinson's disease, patients with previous stroke, and patients with mental impairment.Introduction and Objective
