Intraoperative blood pressure changes during cemented versus uncemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fracture: a multi-center cohort study: The effect of bone cement for bipolar hemiarthroplasty in elderly patients

Introduction The purpose of this study was to compare the cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty with uncemented about the change of intraoperative blood pressure and the incidence of major complications in elderly patients with femoral neck fracture. Materials and methods This multiple center prospective cohort study included only patients with acute displaced femoral neck fracture (Garden stage III or IV). All patients were treated with cemented or uncemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty using modified Hardinge or Watson-Jones approach in the lateral decubitus position. Baseline data, medical history, type of anesthesia, FiO 2 value, the number of vasopressor using during operation, femoral component, intraoperative blood pressure, SaO 2 , and major complications were evaluated. Results Of 164 patients (45 males and 119 females), 86 underwent cemented and 78 underwent uncemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty. Baseline medical histories were similar in both groups. In both the cemented and uncemented groups, intraoperative systolic blood pressure significantly decreased during cementing or rasping (106.3 and 103.6 mmHg) and after femoral component insertion (103.3 and 99.1 mmHg) compared to before rasping (120.7 and 116.4 mmHg) ( p
