Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how different surgical methods impact the risk of dislocating a hip prosthesis in patients with and without cognitive impairment who underwent hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures.
- Out of 828 patients, the dislocation rate was higher (3.4%) in the cognitively impaired group compared to the cognitively intact group (1.3%), with direct anterior approaches showing no dislocations for either group.
- Significant differences in dislocation risk were found between surgical methods specifically for the cognitively impaired group, and patients who experienced dislocations had a 3.2 times higher risk of death compared to those who did not dislocate.
