Popis: Background: To assess outcomes after uncemented hemiarthroplasty stems in the treatment of intracapsular femoral neck fractures over an 11-year period. Mortality rates were assessed, and whether proximal femoral geometry and stem alignment were factors in intraoperative or postoperative periprosthetic fracture (PPF) needs to be identified. Materials and Methods: A retrospective single-center observational study was conducted of all patients who underwent intracapsular femoral neck fracture treatment using an uncemented prosthesis between January 2008 and December 2018. Primary endpoints included mortality rate, Dorr classification, prosthesis alignment, intraoperative fracture, and reoperation rate for any reason. Subanalysis on collared and uncollared implants was also conducted. Multivariate logistic regression was performed based on Dorr classification for stem alignment, fracture incidence, reoperation rate, implant sizing, and patient mortality. Results: A total of 536 patients received an uncemented hemiarthroplasty in the study period. The mean patients age was 80.4 years, of which 71% were female. The 30-day mortality rate was 5.2%, with no deaths on day zero or day one. Twenty patients (3.7%) sustained an intraoperative calcar fracture, and 14 patients a PPF (2.6%) at a mean of 1.3 years from surgery. Dorr C type femurs were more likely to develop a PPF (P = .001), while valgus stem alignment was associated with PPF (P = .049). Conclusions: This implant has low reoperation rates, low early postoperative mortality, and low 30-day mortality. This large single-center study provides up-to-date information using a contemporary stem in patients with multiple comorbidities. Dorr C femoral morphology and valgus stem malalignment were risk factors for postoperative fractures.
