Abstract :

Fracture neck of femur are usually sustained by elderly persons from a trivial fall.Replacement of the femoral head is an alternative due to the frequent development of non–union, failure of osteosynthesis and avascular necrosis of the femoral head. • AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to compare the functional results of unipolar and bipolar hemiarthroplasty in the treatment of displaced femoral neck. • MATERIALS AND METHODS:In this retrospective study to begin with 30 patients operated not less than before six month for Hemireplacement Arthroplasty, with unipolar Austin Moore Prosthesis 15 patient and bipolar prosthesis 15 patient; were enrolled.. • RESULTS: Results were considered in terms of complication, mobility, implantused, and duration of stay, acetabularerosion, hip dislocation, and Harris hip score. • CONCLUSION: Fracture neck femur treated with Bipolar as treatment modality yielded excellent results. Werecommend operating the fracture neck of femur by bipolar over unipolar.
