Background: Femoral neck fractures are common in the elderly population and majority of
which need surgical intervention. Cemented and uncemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty are common
treatment options for these fractures. The outcome from both procedures have generated debates around the
extent to which their differences may reflect altered functioning of the affected limb.
Aim and Objectives: To compare the functional results of cemented and uncementedbipolar
hemiarthroplastyin femoral neck fractures patients.
Methods: We prospectively followed up and also analysed records of patients from our hospital Vinayaka
missions Hospital, Salem, a tertiary-care centre. This study involved patients who had undergone either
cemented or uncemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty. Pain relief, range of motion (ROM), gait pattern, and
limb function status were evaluated post operatively with functional scoring systems that had been validated.
