Abstract

Fracture neck of femur is one of the most common fractures to occur in the elderly and is the leading cause of morbidity in the elderly. They are usually sustained with trivial falls at home. Treatment is usually surgical, and total hip arthroplasty is a viable option considering the patient mobility, comorbidities, and status of acetabulum. The decision to do a cemented or uncemented total hip arthroplasty is usually decided by the quality of bone. Cemented THA has shown better results in elderly with osteoporotic bones, although there have been reports of cement-associated embolic phenomenon. Cemented THA has been associated with no stem pain and can be used in osteoporotic bones and gives better function compared to a hemiarthroplasty.
