Introduction – Fracture of femur neck is the most common fracture among elderly patients. There are various methods of fracture fixation with different complications. The aim of present study is to assess the complications in Fracture neck of Femur in elderly patients treated by Cemented Bipolar prosthesis. Material and methods- The present retrospective study was conducted at department of orthopaedics of Sri Ram Murti Medical College , Barielly among 100 elderly patients who had undergone repairment surgery of fracture neck of femur bone by cemented bipolar prosthesis during the past one year. Demographic and surgical data was gathered and analyzed using SPSS version 25.0. Results – The maximum patients (67%) were from the age group of 60 to 70 years. Female (68%) were more in number as compared to male (32%).
