Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the life quality in the elderly who underwent internal fixation with cannulated screws and bipolar hemiarthroplasty for the displaced femoral neck fractures. MethodsA retrospective study was performed on 141 cases older than 60 years treated from 1993 to 2004. All cases were followed up for mean 40.2 months to evaluate the differences in regard of pain and daily living at one and three years. Results The daily living in hemiarthroplasty group possessed better outcome than that in internal fixation group at one year, with statistical difference but without statistical difference at three years. There was no statistical differences in postoperative pain relief between both groups. Conclusions Both internal fixation and hemiarthroplasty can relieve pain and revive the life quality of the elderly.
