Cemented versus uncemented hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fracture in patients aged 75 years or older: A retrospective cohort study with 3-year follow-up

Introduction

Optimal femoral stem fixation for hemiarthroplasty in older adults with displaced intracapsular fractures remains controversial. Cemented stems may reduce mechanical failure, but cementation carries risks. This study compared mortality and complications after cemented versus uncemented hemiarthroplasty in patients aged 75 years or older.
