Abstract
Femoral stem fixation for displaced femoral neck fractures in osteoporotic patients is an ongoing debate. We evaluated the outcome of 136 cementless bipolar hemiarthroplasty using a Micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coated stem. All patients survived the procedure and were discharged from the hospital. Thirty- and 90-day mortality rates were 0.7% and 2.2%, respectively. Ninety-eight hips were followed for a minimum of 2years (mean, 44months) postoperatively. Three stems were revised because of a periprosthetic fracture. Although cortical stress shielding around the stem was observed in 3 hips, there was no loosening or osteolysis. Cementless bipolar hemiarthroplasty using a MAO-coated stem is a useful and safe option to treat displaced femoral neck fractures.
