Direct anterior total hip arthroplasty with dual mobility cup for femoral neck fractures in dementia patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dementia patients with femoral neck fractures (FNFs) are unable to understand their dislocated limb positioning, which may impair rehabilitation and result in poorer functional recovery. Recently, good clinical results have been reported for the direct anterior approach for total hip arthroplasty (DAA-THA) using a dual mobility cup (DMC) for displaced FNFs. This study aimed to investigate differences in the clinical outcome of THA for displaced FNFs in patients with and without dementia.

Methods

This study was retrospective and included 151 patients who underwent DAA-THA with DMC for displaced FNFs. Patients diagnosed with dementia prior to injury were classified into a dementia group (43 patients) and a non-dementia control group (control group, 108 patients). Th
