Hip Fractures Treated With Uncemented Arthroplasties

Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the functional and radiological outcome after displaced, femoral neck fractures treated with either cemented or uncemented arthroplasties.

The primary hypothesis is that the uncemented arthroplasty shows the same functional outcome at 12 month as the cemented arthroplasty.

Conditions

• Femoral Neck Fractures

Interventions

PROCEDURE

cemented hemiarthroplasty

Patients aged 80 years and older operated with an cemented hemiarthroplasty. Fixation of the wedge-shaped, polished ChromCobalt steel femoral stem to host bone by use of PolyMetylMetAcrylat bone cement. The acetabulum is not replaced. The prosthesis articulates with the patients acetabulum with an unipolar, femoral head made of ChromCobalt steel.

PROCEDURE

reverse hybrid total hip arthroplasty

Patients aged 65 to 79 years operated with an uncemented femoral component combined with cemented acetabular cup. The femoral stem is fixed to the host bone by press-fit technique. We use a tapered, proximally hydroxyapatite coated, titanium stem. The acetabular cup is fixed to the host bone with bone cement. We use an all-polyethylene design. Bone cement consists of PolyMetylMetAcrylat.

PROCEDURE

uncemented hemiarthroplasty

Patients aged 80 years and older are randomized to uncemented hemiarthroplasty. Fixation of the tapered, proximally hydroxyapatite coated, titanium stem to the host bone by "press-fit"-technique. The acetabulum is not replaced. The prosthesis articulates with the patients acetabulum with an unipolar, femoral head made of ChromCobalt steel.
