BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVEFemoral neck fractures have been considered 'Unsolvable fracture' in the olden era of orthopaedics due to high rate of associated complications, which include nonunion and avascular necrosis of the femoral head. Prosthetic replacement as a primary procedure eliminates osteonecrosis and non-union as complications of femoral fractures and also allows immediate weightbearing to return elderly patients to activity and help avoid complications of recumbency and inactivity. The decision to perform hemiarthroplasty using a unipolar or bipolar prosthesis remains controversial with proponents on either side. So in view of varied opinions, we desire to compare the efficiency of these two prosthesis, unipolar and bipolar prosthesis for the management of intracapsular fracture neck femur in elderly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
