Posterior approach and uncemented stems increases the risk of reoperation after hemiarthroplasties in elderly hip fracture patients

Abstract

Cemented stems and a direct lateral transgluteal approach reduced the risk of reoperation after hip fractures treated with hemiarthroplasty in patients over 75 years. Men and younger patients had a higher risk of reoperation. For the age group 60-74 years, there were no such differences in risk in this material.
