Abstract :

 

Femoral neck fracture is common clinically and it is especially common in the elderly. The incidence of the fracture has been increasing year after year. Replacement of the femoral head is still recognized as the best scheme for elderly displaced femoral neck fracture, despite its controversies. Orthopaedic surgeons vary in their management of hip fractures of the hip in elderly patients.  This prospective randomised study was undertaken to evaluate the functional outcome of hemiarthroplasty in elderly patient, to compare unipolar vs bipolar hemiarthroplasty and to evaluate the complications arising from above mentioned procedure.
