Cemented Modular Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty for Displaced Femoral Neck Fractures in the Elderly.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective To determine the outcomes of cemented modular bipolar hemiarthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fractures in the elderly. Methodology This prospective study involved 102 elderly patients with clinically and radiologically confirmed displaced femoral neck fractures and was conducted in the Department of Trauma and Orthopedic Surgery, Unit-1, Services Hospital, Lahore. Cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty was performed on all patients. Preoperative variables included gender, laterality, and age. Postoperatively, the Harris Hip Score (HHS) at set follow-up intervals was measured to assess functional outcomes. Data analysis was conducted using JASP Team (2024), JASP (Version 0.19.0) (Computer software). Normality tests were applied to check for data distribution. As the data was non-parametric, further nonparametric tests for correlation and significance were applied. Results The study included 56 males and 46 females, with a mean age of 65.45 years. The majority of the procedures were left-sided (55). Cemented modular bipolar hemiarthroplasty was performed for displaced femoral neck fractures. The mean HHS at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months follow-up was 78.15, 83.49, and 88.76, respectively. Complications were observed in 14 (13.7%) patients, with superficial surgical site infections (SSIs) being the most common. No cases of hip dislocation or acetabular erosion were reported during the follow-up. Conclusion The study concludes that cemented modular bipolar hemiarthroplasty provides better functional outcomes for elderly populations with osteoporotic bones who tend to have a relatively sedentary lifestyle.
