This study compared the occurrence of aseptic revisions and pulmonary embolism after cemented and uncemented hemiarthroplasty for the treatment of femoral neck fractures. The results showed a significantly increased rate of aseptic revisions and periprosthetic fractures with uncemented hemiarthroplasty within 5 years after implantation. Although patients with cemented hemiarthroplasty experienced a higher rate of pulmonary embolism during hospitalization, the difference was not statistically significant. Based on these findings, cemented hemiarthroplasty should be preferred in the treatment of femoral neck fractures.
BackgroundFemoral neck fractures (FNF) are among the most common fractures in Germany and are often treated by hemiarthroplasty (HA). The aim of this study was to compare the occurrence of aseptic revisions after cemented and uncemented HA for the treatment of FNF. Secondly, the rate of pulmonary embolism was investigated.MethodsData collection for this study was performed using the German Arthroplasty Registry (EPRD). HAs after FNF were divided into subgroups stratified by stem fixation (cemented vs uncemented) and paired according to age, sex, BMI, and the Elixhauser score using Mahalanobis distance matching.ResultsExamination of 18,180 matched cases showed a significantly increased rate of aseptic revisions in uncemented HA (p < 0.0001). After 1 month 2.5% of HAs with uncemented stems required an aseptic revision, while 1.5% were reported in cemented HA. After 1 and 3 years' follow-up 3.9% and 4.5% of uncemented HA and 2.2% and 2.5% of cemented HA needed aseptic revision surgery. In particular, the proportion of periprosthetic fractures was increased in cementless implanted HA (p < 0.0001). During in-patient stays, pulmonary emboli occurred more frequently after cemented HA [0.81% vs 0.53% in cementless HA (OR: 1.53; p = 0.057)].ConclusionFor uncemented hemiarthroplasties a statistically significantly increased rate of aseptic revisions and periprosthetic fractures was evident within a time period of 5 years after implantation. During the in-hospital stay, patients with cemented HA experienced an increased rate of pulmonary embolism, but without statistically significant results. Based on the present results, with knowledge of prevention measurements and correct cementation technique, cemented HA should be preferred when using HA in the treatment of femoral neck fractures.Trail registration: The study design of the German Arthroplasty Registry was approved by the University of Kiel (ID: D 473/11).Level of Evidence: Level III, Prognostic.
