Risk factors for bipolar hemiarthroplasty dislocation: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeBipolar hemiarthroplasty (BHA) is widely used for displaced femoral-neck fractures; however postoperative dislocation remains a serious complication. Reported risk factors vary considerably. This study investigated the clinical, surgical and radiographic parameters associated with dislocation following BHA.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective single‑center cohort study of 434 patients who underwent BHA for femoral‑neck fractures at a level‑I trauma center between 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2020. Demographics, comorbidities, surgical approach (timing and duration), and postoperative radiographs were analyzed. Patients with and without dislocation were compared using univariate analyses. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis and logistic regression were performed to assess predictive value. In a nested case-control subanalysis, each dislocation case was matched with five age and sex matched controls for detailed comparison analysis.
resultsThe cohort included 165 men and 269 women (mean age 81.9 years); dislocation occurred in 2.5% of patients (n = 11). Age, sex, dementia, Parkinson's disease, time to surgery and operative duration were not associated with dislocation. Operations performed outside daytime hours were more frequent among dislocated cases (45% vs. 20%, p = 0.016). Dislocated hips had a smaller center-edge angle (CEA), larger femoral neck-shaft angle (FNSA), reduced contralateral offset and higher bipolar head extrusion index. A CEA ≤ 25° predicted dislocation with high specificity but low sensitivity. Logistic regression suggested nighttime surgery as an additional potential predictor.
conclusionPre‑operative evaluation of CEA and consideration of operative timing may help identify patients at increased risk of dislocation following BHA. Prospective randomized trials are required to confirm these associations, clarify causality, and develop preventive strategies.
