Purpose:
Femoral neck fractures are common injuries with over 1 million occurring yearly. This video demonstrates a case of a displaced femoral neck fracture treated with a cemented hemiarthroplasty through a posterior approach.
Methods:
Multiple approaches to the hip for arthroplasty have been described, each with advantages and disadvantages. Careful technique is critical to success.
Results:
This presents a case of a displaced femoral neck fracture treated with a cemented hemiarthroplasty through a posterior approach.
Conclusions:
Displaced femoral neck fractures are common fractures. The posterior approach for cemented hemiarthroplasty is a safe, reproducible technique.

Strength of Cement
For compressive strength tests, ASTM C 109-05 standards prescribe a cement-sand mix ratio of 1:2.75 and a water/cement ratio of 0.485 for making 2-inch cubes. These cubes are mixed, cast, and cured in saturated lime water at 23°C until testing. Flexural strength testing, outlined in...
Types of Cement I
Type I (Ordinary Portland Cement) is widely used for general construction where special properties are not required. It has moderate sulfate resistance and heat of hydration.
Type II (Modified Cement) offers moderate resistance to sulfate attack and a lower rate of heat development compared to Type I. It is suitable for structures in...
