Article Synopsis
- A neck of femur (NOF) fracture is common in older adults, and cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty (HA) has become a standard treatment worldwide.
- This study compares two minimally invasive surgical approaches for HA: the anterolateral minimally invasive approach (ALMIS) and the direct superior approach (DSA), focusing on their intraoperative and early complications.
- While ALMIS resulted in shorter surgery times, DSA showed a significantly lower rate of complications following the procedure, making it a safer option despite taking a bit longer to perform.
