文摘

Background Displaced femoral neck fractures (FNFs) in healthy elderly patients have traditionally been managed with hemiarthroplasty (HA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA), with studies suggesting that THA may be the better option. However, it has recently been reported that bipolar HA (BHA) also provides good outcomes, and it is not clear as to whether BHA or THA is most appropriate. The purpose of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the outcomes of BHA with THA for treating FNF in healthy elderly patients.
