Hemiarthroplasty

SAN DIEGO — Results showed white patients were more likely to undergo total hip arthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fracture compared with historically underrepresented groups, who were more likely to undergo hemiarthroplasty.

Published results showed the type of anesthetic regimen used during cemented hemiarthroplasty was markedly associated with development of bone cement implantation syndrome.

Compared with a control, liposomal bupivacaine did not provide effective pain management for older patients who undergo hemiarthroplasty for an intracapsular femoral neck fracture, according to published results.

Published results showed reverse shoulder arthroplasty yielded superior Constant scores at 1 year with no increased risk of failure compared with hemiarthroplasty for patients with proximal humerus fractures.

Results from a randomized clinical trial showed no association between the surgical approaches for cemented hemiarthroplasty studied and 6-month patient-reported quality of life in patients treated for acute femoral neck fracture.

Published results showed patients who underwent shoulder hemiarthroplasty for glenohumeral osteoarthritis had higher complication rates at 30-day follow-up compared with matched patients who underwent total shoulder arthroplasty.

Published results showed hemiarthroplasty was associated with a lower risk of hip dislocation at 1 year compared with total hip arthroplasty, although researchers questioned whether the results are clinically significant.

LAS VEGAS — Results showed tranexamic acid may reduce blood loss and transfusion requirements postoperatively among patients who underwent hemiarthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty for pathologic hip fractures.

LAS VEGAS — In this video from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Annual Meeting, Nicola Fabbri, MD, discussed the use of tranexamic acid for patients with metastatic cancer who undergo total hip arthroplasty or hemiarthroplasty.

Compared with patients who undergo hip hemiarthroplasty for a femoral neck fracture, patients who undergo total hip arthroplasty are at increased risk for hip dislocations at 30 days, 1 year and 2 years after surgery, according to a study.
