Hemiarthroplasty (half of a hip replacement) is the most common treatment for displaced fractures of the femoral neck in the elderly and is associated with a better functional outcome and fewer reoperations than internal fixation. Currently, the operative management of displaced femoral neck fractures favors the use of cemented implants. This technique is believed to be more stable in the immediate post-operative period, but there is limited evidence of a decreased morbidity and mortality with cemented versus press-fit stems (uncemented). In 2006, a meta-analysis concluded that the evidence was too limited to recommend a cemented or press-fit hemiarthroplasty.
