The aim of this study was to compare the functional and radiological
outcomes in patients with a displaced fracture of the hip who were
treated with a cemented or a cementless femoral stem. A four-year follow-up of a randomized controlled study included
141 patients who underwent surgery for a displaced femoral neck
fracture. Patients were randomized to receive either a cemented
(n = 67) or a cementless (n = 74) stem at hemiarthroplasty (HA;
n = 83) or total hip arthroplasty (THA; n = 58).Aims
Patients and Methods
We present an audit comparing our level I major trauma centre’s
data for a cohort of patients with hip fractures in the National
Hip Fracture Database (NHFD) with locally held data on these patients. A total of 2036 records for episodes between July 2009 and June
2014 were reviewed. Aims
