Background:Hip fracture contributes to both morbidity and mortality in the elderly. Management of femoral neck fractures in elderly patients has been controversial. Uncemented prosthesis have been said to have a longer life span due to intrinsic bony ingrowth, which provide a long lasting fixation in comparisons to fixation by bone-cement-metal bond which tends to loosen.Hence; under the light of above-mentioned data, the present study was conducted for assessing the short term clinical and radiological outcome of Indian Uncemented Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty.Materials & methods:A total of 20 patients were enrolled. Material of uncemented prosthesis used in patients were included in study. Coating of prosthesis was Hydroxyapatite (Completely coated). Clinical outcome is assessed by Harris Hip Score. Patients were followed up at 3 weeks,6 weeks,3 months,6 months and yearly for assessing outcome post operatively. All the results were recorded in Microsoft excel sheet and were analysed by SPSS software.Results:Mean age of the patients was 69.5 years. Significant results were obtained while comparing the mean Harris hip score at different time intervals. Excellent results were seen in 45 percent of the patients while good results were seen in 35 percent of the patients. 15 percent of the patients showed fair results while poor results were seen in 5 percent of the patients. Conclusion:Hemiarthroplasty using Uncemented Bipolar prosthesis for fractures of the femoral neck in satisfactory outcome and more rapid return to unassisted activity |
