Abstract Background Hemiarthroplasty (HA) has been a mainstay treatment for displaced femoral neck fractures for many years. The purpose of this study was to report the conversion rate of HA to total hip arthroplasty (THA) for displaced femoral neck fractures, and compare outcomes between implant co...

Zusammenfassung:Abstract Background Hemiarthroplasty (HA) has been a mainstay treatment for displaced femoral neck fractures for many years. The purpose of this study was to report the conversion rate of HA to total hip arthroplasty (THA) for displaced femoral neck fractures, and compare outcomes between implant constructs (bipolar versus unipolar), fixation options (cemented v. cementless stems), and age groups (
