ABSTRACT
Hip fracture is the most common injury in the elderly; the rate of occurrence rises exponentially with age, and the aging of the population will ensure that hip fracture remains a major clinical challenge and public health problem in the future. Hip fractures are still the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in the elderly. Hip fractures increase in frequency as people get older. Even though bipolar hemiarthroplasty of the hip is a popular technique, little is known regarding the frequency and treatment of postoperative dislocation. This study looked at 1,934 hips that had been treated with primary bipolar hemiarthroplasty. In older patients with displaced femoral neck fractures, bipolar hemiarthroplasty has also been used to treat osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis, and osteonecrosis. Although dislocation after primary bipolar hemiarthroplasty is infrequent, it is linked to a high likelihood of recurrence. Intertrochanteric femur fractures are common in the elderly. Because of increased life expectancy and osteoporosis, their prevalence has risen. Patients are encouraged to move and exercise the affected limbs soon after hip arthroplasty, minimizing bed rest and the rate of problems. THA is a more complicated and expensive procedure than bipolar hemiarthroplasty (BA). Internal fixation is emphasized, as well as early mobilization. For the treatment of sub-capital femoral fractures, hip hemiarthroplasty is a common procedure.
