Background: Bipolar hemiarthrpplasty is one of the most common procedures performed on elderly women. The discussion about cement or cementless is still on. Cementation increases perioperative mortality by causing significant hemodynamic changes or embolism.
Methods: We report a series of 25 elderly patient (age >60 years) of Dorrs Type -B -Femur neck fracture. Operated with cementless modular bipolar prosthesis (hydroxy apaptite coated) over a year (from november 2023 to october 2024) all patients via a southern approach (Posterior approach). Clinical and radiological follow-up were conducted at a 12-month follow-up.
Results: A total of 25 cases were manipulated. The average subsequent test was 12 months. No intraoperative mortality was observed. One patient developed femoral splitting while preparing the canal. One patient suffered from a surgical infection. One patient was then given an explanation of the length of the limb (<1 cm). Twenty-three patients reached final follow-up, with an average Harris Haft score of 85.
