Synopsis
30 patients undergoing hemiarthroplasties for femoral neck fractures were randomized to receive the femoral component with either a distal centralising device (DCD) or a proximal mid-shaft centralising device (PCD) to compare both devices post operatively. The radiographic results indicated similar effects on stem alignment and cement mantle thickness with both the distal and proximal centralisin...
