Abstract

Ashley Cooper recognized fractures in the proximal femur distal to the insertion of capsule. He noted that they invariably united without difficulty often with external rotation and shortening leading to coxa vara. Till the 1940s the standard treatment was reduction of the fracture and immobilization in plaster spica or in traction. The long period of immobility required for this treatment carried considerable morbidity, particularly in elderly patients. In addition to problems of prolonged bed rest, reports about various management strategies were not satisfactory. The justification for early rehabilitation in this group was accurately summed up by this quotation by Evans. '' The very old patients who sustain this injury tolerate pain and immobility badly; their mental state is often precarious and is quick to develop bed sores or pulmonary complications. We believe that they should be treated as surgical emergency and the older and more feebler the patient the more urgent is the need for the operation" The aim of this prospective and retrospective study is to analyse the short term follow up results of cemented bipolar hemi arthroplasty in neck of femur fracture and unstable intetrochanteric fractures of the elderly done in our institution.
