Summary

Bipolar hip hemiarthroplasty offers a stable, less invasive option for proximal femoral fractures. It shows a lower risk of acetabular protrusion compared to classical hemiarthroplasty.

Area of Science:

Orthopedic surgery
Biomaterials
Prosthetic joint replacement

Background:

Bipolar hip prosthesis (BHP) features a steel outer shell and polyethylene liner with an inner steel head.
BHPs are used for proximal femur fractures, preserving acetabular integrity.

Purpose of the Study:

Evaluate indications for bipolar hip prostheses (BHP).
Assess the advantages of BHP compared to other hip arthroplasty methods.

Main Methods:

Surgical technique and indications analyzed in 79 patients (ages 70-80).
Focus on patients with femoral neck fractures or proximal femur injuries.
Follow-up evaluation of 54 patients over 3-9 years.

Main Results:

Four dislocations occurred (two due to stem malalignment), requiring revision.
No protrusion into the acetabulum or stem failure observed.
Nearly all patients reported pain-free outcomes; Harris hip scores affected by comorbidities.

Conclusions:

Bipolar hip hemiarthroplasty is suitable for acute proximal femoral fractures.
Offers reduced patient stress compared to total hip arthroplasty.
Provides greater stability and lower protrusion risk than classical hemiarthroplasty.
