Background

A neck of femur (NOF) fracture is one of the most common fractures, and its treatment in the geriatric population using cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty (hemiarthroplasty) is a standard procedure worldwide.

Purpose

The aim of the study was to compare the two surgical approaches.

Methods

The medical records of all patients undergoing cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty for a NOF fracture between January 2017 and December 2023 were analyzed.

n = 226 patients

0/61 vs. 11/163

Results

0/61 vs. 11/163

Direct superior approach had no complications, ALMIS had several

Conclusion

In a comparison of the two minimally invasive approaches, direct superior approach and ALMIS, for treating a NOF fracture with cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty, the direct superior approach demonstrated a lower complication rate, though it had a slightly longer operating time.
