Abstract:
Objective To compare the effects of bipolar femor al head replacement (BFHR) and total hip replacement (THR) in the treatment of femoral neck fractures (FNF) in the elderly. Methods Between August 1993 and December 2001, BFHR or THR were performed in 48 old patients (at age of 60-85 years, mean 70.8 years) with subcapital and transcervical types of FNF. Of all, 18 cases were tre ated with BFHR (Group BFHR) and 30 with THR (Group THR). Results OF all, two patients died (not related to operation), one received no f ollow up and 45 were followed up for average 5 years and 2 months with no wound infection or hip dislocation. Occurrence rate of hip and thigh pains in the Grou p THR was 3% (1/29), lower than that in the Group BFHR (4/16). Conclus ions BFHR is only fit for senile cases with poor physical con dition. However, THR can be used for most old patients with FNF.
