Factors associated with dislocation after bipolar hemiarthroplasty through an (antero-)lateral approach in elderly patients with a femoral neck fracture: a retrospective cohort study with a nested case–control subanalysis of radiographic parameters
Abstract:Introduction
Dislocations of hip hemiarthroplasty (HHA) are serious complications. The aim of the study was to identify clinical aspects and radiographic parameters of the hip that put patients at risk for dislocation after HHA for femoral neck fractures.
Methods
This retrospective analysis included elderly patients with a femoral neck fracture treated with a HHA. A lateral (90.7%) and an anterolateral (9.3%) approach was applied. On pelvic radiographs, a … Show more
