Abstract
Background: Femoral neck fractures in the elderly are associated with high morbidity and reduced mobility. Uncemented hydroxyapatite-coated bipolar hemiarthroplasty is increasingly used to avoid cement-related complications. This study evaluated postoperative functional outcomes using the Harris Hip Score (HHS).
Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted on 38 elderly patients (≥65 years) with displaced intracapsular femoral neck fractures who underwent uncemented hydroxyapatite-coated bipolar hemiarthroplasty. Functional outcome was assessed using the Harris Hip Score at nine months. Descriptive statistics (mean ± SD) were used.
Results: The mean Harris Hip Score at nine months was 88.4 ± 9.2. Outcomes were classified as excellent in 25 patients (66%), good in 7 (18%), fair in 4 (10%), and poor in 2 (5%). Most patients regained independent ambulation with minimal complications.
Conclusions: Uncemented hydroxyapatite-coated bipolar hemiarthroplasty provides satisfactory early functional outcomes in elderly patients with femoral neck fractures, with high HHS scores and low complication rates over nine months.
