MATERIAL & METHOD– Total 30 patients were included in the study & calcar replacement hemiarthroplasty done among them. Result were analysed post operatively on the basis of Harris Hip Score, infection & complications.

RESULT– Results were analysed on the basis of Harris Hip Score calculated pre–op, 6wks , 6mnth, 1yr post op. Significant improvement seen with negligible complications.

CONCLUSION– Calcar replacement arthroplasty is a good treatement option in unstable trochanteric fractures in elderly.
