Incidence of Early Infection After Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty and Its Associated Factors in Fracture Neck of Femur

Sponsor: Assiut University

Summary

Periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) following hemiarthroplasty for hip fractures are a catastrophic complication that results in severe worsening of patients' daily function and quality of life. The incidence of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) in hemiarthroplasty after femoral neck fracture varies from 2% to 17%. Identifying risk factors associated with early infection following HA for hip fractures may provide an opportunity to treat and prevent this potential complication with preoperative planning in many patients. So investigators will study the rate of early infection and its associated factor after bipolar hemiarthroplasty.
