Journal Article
Hemiarthroplasty compared to total hip arthroplasty for the treatment of femoral neck fractures: a systematic review and meta-analysis
2021
Overview
Background
Hip replacement is divided into total hip arthroplasty (THA) and hemiarthroplasty (HA); it is still controversial whether to choose THA or HA for femoral neck fractures (FNF). The goal of this study was to review relevant studies in order to determine the HA compared to THA for the treatment of FNF.
Patients and methods
Using appropriate keywords, we identified relevant studies using PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase. Key pertinent sources in the literature were also reviewed, and all articles published through August 2019 were considered for inclusion. For each study, we assessed odds ratios (ORs), mean difference (MD), and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) to assess and synthesize outcomes.
Results
We included 19 studies with a total of 413,140 patients in the HA group and 44973 in the THA group. The blood loss, surgery time, and dislocation were all significantly decreased in the HA group than the THA group. The length of hospital, pneumonia, and renal failure were significant increased in the HA group than THA group. There has no significant difference of complication, mortality, reoperation, infection, pulmonary embolism, and myocardial infarct between the two groups.
Conclusion
HA has favor in decrease blood loss and surgery time. THA has favor in decrease the length of hospital, the incidence of pneumonia and renal failure. For the selection of surgical methods for femoral neck fracture in the elderly, we should consider several aspects, such as the age of the patient, whether there is osteoporosis, the type of femoral neck fracture, the preoperative reduction situation, and the needs of the patient and his family for the postoperative situation.
