Abstract
Unstable osteoporotic intertrochanteric fractures in elderly pose a difficult problem in treatment. Most of the fixation devices are fraught with failures. Early mobilization is key to the success and prevention of complications and good functional outcome. Cemented hemiarthroplasty is a good choice in such patients. We treated 30 patients with cemented hemiarthroplasty and had good to excellent results as assessed by Harris hip score.
