Abstract
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the quality of life of elderly patients after bipolar hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures at Thai Binh Provincial General Hospital. Methods
A prospective study was conducted on 52 patients aged 60 years and older, diagnosed with femoral neck fractures and treated with bipolar hemiarthroplasty. Patients were monitored before and after surgery in the Department of Orthopedic Trauma and Burns from June 2021 to July 2022. Results: The average quality-of-life scores improved significantly after surgery: 21.31 ± 6.87 before surgery, 48.55 ± 10.83 after 3 months, and 59.90 ± 9.22 after 6 months. Complications such as hip pain, dislocation, and limb shortening occurred at a low rate. Conclusion: Bipolar hemiarthroplasty is a safe and effective method that significantly improves the quality of life for elderly patients following femoral neck fractures.
