Abstract

Femoral neck fractures (FNF) represent a major public health problem all over the world (1). Hip hemiarthroplasty (HA) represents the preferred method of treatment in most cases, that is due to relatively easier technique, less invasive and less time consuming procedure. On the other hand, total hip arthroplasty (THA) is associated with lower revision rates, less pain and more preferable functional outcomes (2). Hence, many studies recommend THA in treatment of FNF in younger population, without several comorbidities and higher physical demands. One of the most devastating complications of arthroplasty is dislocation, with incidence of about 3.8% in HA versus about 10.2% in THA (3, 4). In addition, FNF patients are more prone to dislocation in comparison to patients with other disease like osteoarthritis, which
