Abstract

Background: To assess the short term clinical and radiological outcomes of Indian Uncemented Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty. Materials & methods: A total of 20 patients were enrolled. Complete demographic and clinical details of all the patients were obtained. Only those patients were enrolled with transcervical fracture neck of femur and which were scheduled to undergo bipolar hemiarthroplasty. Clinical outcome was assessed by Harris Hip Score. All the results were recorded in Microsoft excel sheet and were analysed by SPSS software. Results:Mean blood loss during surgery was 193.2 millilitres. Mean Harris hip score at baseline, 3 weeks follow-up, 6 weeks follow-up, three months follow-up and one year follow-up was 42.3, 59.8, 69.1, 78.3, and 84.8 respectively. Significant results were obtained while comparing the mean Harris hip score at different time intervals. Excellent outcome was seen in 35 percent of the patient while good outcome was seen in 40 percent of the patients. Conclusion: Hemiarthroplasty using Uncemented Bipolar prosthesis for fractures of the femoral neck in satisfactory outcome and more rapid return to unassisted activity.
