Description
Background
Femoral neck fractures are common in individuals over 65, necessitating quick mobilization for the best outcomes. There's ongoing debate about the optimal femoral component fixation method in total hip arthroplasty (THA) for these fractures. Recent U.S. data shows a preference for cementless techniques in over 93% of primary THAs. Nonetheless, cemented fixation might offer advantages like fewer revisions, reduced periprosthetic fractures, lesser thigh pain, and enhanced long-term implant survival for those above 65. This study compares cementless and cemented fixation methods in THA, focusing on postoperative complications in patients aged 65 and older.
Methods
We analyzed a national database to identify patients aged 65+ who underwent primary THA for femoral neck fractures between 2016 and 2021, using either cementless (n = 2,842) or cemented (n = 1,124) techniques. A 1:1 propensity …
