What is a cemented hip hemiarthroplasty?

What is a cemented hip hemiarthroplasty?

A hemiarthroplasty is a surgical procedure that involves replacing half of the hip joint. Hemi means “half” and arthroplasty refers to “joint replacement.” Replacing the entire hip joint is called total hip replacement (THR).

What is the difference between hemiarthroplasty and arthroplasty?

Comparing Surgical Options for Hip Fracture Options include hemiarthroplasty, which involves replacing the femoral head with a prosthesis, or total hip arthroplasty, which involves replacement of both the femoral head and the acetabulum with prostheses.

Why is cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty?

Cementing the prosthesis affords more secure fixation and may result in less postoperative midthigh pain and a reduced long-term revision rate (loosening is less). For decades, the optimal treatment choice has been debated, and whether cemented is better than uncemented hemiarthroplasty remains uncertain.

What is a DHS surgery?

Dynamic hip screw (DHS) or Sliding Screw Fixation is a type of orthopaedic implant designed for fixation of certain types of hip fractures which allows controlled dynamic sliding of the femoral head component along the construct.

What is difference between total hip replacement and bipolar hemiarthroplasty?

Total Hip Arthroplasty is reportedly superior to Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty in terms of hip pain, function and reoperation rate. Total Hip Arthroplasty has a higher rate of dislocation rate than Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty.

What is the single fundamental difference between unipolar depression and bipolar depression?

Unipolar depression and bipolar depression share the same symptoms with three main differences: 1) Bipolar depression is more episodic than unipolar, 2) Bipolar depression is always on the edge of mania, and 3) Due to the mania risk, bipolar depression treatment is different than unipolar depression treatment.

What is periprosthetic fracture?

A periprosthetic hip fracture is a broken bone that occurs around the implants of a total hip replacement. It is a serious complication that most often requires surgery.

What do you mean by arthroplasty?

Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure to restore the function of a joint. A joint can be restored by resurfacing the bones. An artificial joint (called a prosthesis) may also be used.

What is a bipolar hip hemiarthroplasty?

This surgical procedure replaces the head of a damaged femur with an implant designed to stabilize the femur and restore hip function. Unlike total hip replacement, in which both the ball of the femur and the hip socket are replaced, in this procedure, only the ball is replaced.

What is modular bipolar?

The Modular Bipolar Femoral Head construct consists of a CoCr shell, a polyethylene insert, and a standard CoCr femoral head. The Bipolar Shells are available in incremental sizes from 38mm to 70mm.

Is Cemented fixation better than uncemented fixation in hemiarthroplasty?

Importance: Consensus guidelines and systematic reviews have suggested that cemented fixation is more effective than uncemented fixation in hemiarthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fractures.

Does uncemented fixation increase the risk of aseptic revision after hemiarthroplasty?

Conclusions and relevance: Among patients with hip fracture treated with hemiarthroplasty in a large US integrated health care system, uncemented fixation, compared with cemented fixation, was associated with a statistically significantly higher risk of aseptic revision.

What is the difference between cement fixation and uncemented prostheses?

Cement fixation can decrease postoperative complications related to late mobilization, such as pneumonia or urinary tract infection, compared with uncemented fixation. However, other studies favor uncemented prostheses as the operative time, blood loss and incidence of perioperative mortality are less. [8]

What are the limitations of hemiarthroplasty for displaced fracture of femoral neck?

However, there are still some limitations in our study, such as the uniformity of the surgery administration programme and rehabilitation scheme, and the small sample size of the included studies. Cemented hemiarthroplasty for elderly patients with displaced fracture of femoral neck may acquire better functional results.
