Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) versus Bipolar Hemi-arthroplasty (BHA) for displaced fracture neck of femur in elderly patients- A prospective study

Abstract

Background
Femoral neck fracture is the most common injury in elderly population. Prevention of complications by early surgery and mobilization in these patients is of prime importance. Bipolar hemi-arthroplasty (BHA) and Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) are the treatment options available for elderly patients with displaced femoral neck fractures. In our study, we analysed the outcomes following Bipolar Hemi-arthroplasty (BHA) in comparison to Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA).
