An Abbreviated cementing technique for Thompson’s Hemiarthroplasty.

Abstract

Thompsons Prosthesis is one of the most commonly used hemiarthroplasty for the neck of femur fractures. We describe an abbreviated cementing technique for Thompson Hemiarthroplasty which has the benefit of preserving the bone stock and reduction in operating time. We looked at 24 patients who underwent hemiarthroplasty using this technique with a very good outcome.
