Left hemiarthroplasty is normally aligned and there is no periprosthetic fracture.
Case Discussion
Hemiarthroplasty of the hip is one of the surgical treatments for femoral neck fractures, replacing the head due to the high risk of post-traumatic avascular necrosis.
This prosthesis is a bipolar hemiarthroplasty which can be converted to a total hip arthroplasty in the future. The large prosthetic head can be removed and a smaller one attached to the femoral stem and an acetabular cup prosthesis is inserted.
