Background: In the Department of Orthopaedics, intracapsular femur neck fractures are a frequently reported
fracture. Good results have been seen in older participants using cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty for the treatment
of intracapsular femur neck fractures.
Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess functional results after cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty for the
treatment of an intracapsular femur neck fracture.
Methods: A total of twenty-eight individuals with an intracapsular femur neck fracture were included in this
prospective clinical study. Following management, the Harris Hip Score was used to evaluate the findings and
classify them as follows: poor, fair, good, and exceptional.
Results: When the Harris Hip scores of the study subjects were graded, it was observed that 10.71% (n=3) of the
subjects had poor scores, 25% (n=7) had fair scores, 50% (n=14) had good scores, and 14.28% (n=4) had excellent
scores. Regarding the radiological characteristics of the research participants, it was observed that 50% (n=14),
39.28% (n=11), and 10.71% (n=3) of the study subjects had radiological gradings of excellent, good, and bad,
respectively. Out of the studied individuals, the ectopic eruption was observed in 17.85% (n=5) whereas it was
missing in 882. 14% (n=23) of the subjects. Of the research individuals, 46.42% (n = 13) had a neck shaft angle
>140o, whereas 53.57% (n = 15) had a neck shaft angle between 1100-140o. Femoral anteversion was found to be
15±50 in 46.42% (n=13) of the research participants, <100 in 21.42% (n=6), and >20o in 32.14% (n=9) of the study
participants.
Conclusion: The current study found that cemented bipolar arthroplasty, which has good clinical results in older
individuals, is one of the best strategies to treat intracapsular femur neck fractures. It is essential to do ongoing
radiological and clinical tests to evaluate the problems.
