OE EXCLUSIVE

Martyn Parker speaks on cemented versus uncemented hemiarthroplasty.

Synopsis

400 patients (older than 60 yr old) with displaced intra-capsular fracture of the proximal femur were randomized to be managed with by either cemented or uncemented hemiarthroplasty. At the 5 year follow up period, the cemented hemiarthroplasty was found superior to uncemented hemiarthroplasty, with superior reductions in pain and greater mobility with cemented prosthesis.
