ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Evidence of whether to use hemiarthroplasty (HA) or total hip arthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fractures (FNF) is still widely debated, especially when taking ambulatory status, age, and patient cognitive status into account. The current study aims to report the rates of dislocations, revisions and other complications for primary cemented HA in patients with displaced FNF. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Single-center retrospective follow-up study of an unselected historic cohort. 743 consecutive hips (551 W and 192 M) at mean (SD) age of 83.6 (8.4) years received primary cemented HA for displaced FNF by posterolateral surgical approach between January 2012 and December 2019. Patient files and radiographs were evaluated for dislocations, revisions, and other complications until death or end of the follow-up period, and the educational level of the surgeon was noted.RESULTS:
During a mean (SD) follow-up period of 2.7 (2.2) years, there were 6.1% (n = 45) dislocations, in which 82% (first dislocation) appeared within the first 30 postoperative days, and 51% (n = 23) of the dislocations requiring subsequent surgery. At the time of the last available follow-up, 57% (n = 421) of the patients were dead. A non-dislocation related revision was needed in 3.4% (n = 25) of the patients [in which infection accounted for 40% (n = 10) and traumatic periprosthetic fracture for 32% (n = 8)]. Thirty-day mortality was 9.2% and 1-year mortality 25.8%. There were no differences in patient's age, gender, or educational level of the surgeon between the dislocation and the no dislocation groups. Patients aged < 70 years presented with a higher dislocation rate (p < 0.001) than the patients aged > 70 years.CONCLUSION:
Primary HA presents a safe and robust approach with acceptable complication rates in a genuine unselected cohort of displaced FNF, particularly for patients aged > 70.Palavras-chave
