Abstract
With an ageing population, hip fractures are a progressively worsening global burden that impact both the patient and healthcare systems. More than half of hip fractures are intracapsular and the majority of them are treated with arthroplasty surgery for pain relief and restoration of mobility. For most hip fracture patients, who are generally older and frail, the aim of the surgeon is to provide treatment with the lowest possible mortality, complication and revision rates, coupled with improved health-related quality of life. Registry data show more favourable outcomes with cemented rather than cementless hemiarthroplasty in this challenging patient group. This article describes the techniques for cementing the femur during a hemiarthroplasty to recreate the patient's anatomy, as well as how to perform safe cementing techniques to reduce the risk of cement related complications.
期刊介绍：
Orthopaedics and Trauma presents a unique collection of International review articles summarizing the current state of knowledge and research in orthopaedics. Each issue focuses on a specific topic, discussed in depth in a mini-symposium; other articles cover the areas of basic science, medicine, children/adults, trauma, imaging and historical review. There is also an annotation, self-assessment questions and a second opinion section. In this way the entire postgraduate syllabus will be covered in a 4-year cycle.
