Journal ArticleDOI
Cemented or Uncemented Hemiarthroplasty for Femoral Neck Fracture? Data from the Norwegian Hip Fracture Register.
Torbjørn Berge Kristensen,Torbjørn Berge Kristensen,Eva Dybvik,Målfrid Holen Kristoffersen,Målfrid Holen Kristoffersen,Håvard Dale,Håvard Dale,Lars B. Engesæter,Ove Furnes,Ove Furnes,Jan-Erik Gjertsen,Jan-Erik Gjertsen +11 more
TL;DR: This study found that the fixation method was not associated with differences in pain, quality of life, or the 1-year mortality rate after hemiarthroplasty, and should not be used when treating elderly patients with hip fractures because there is an increased reoperation risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does time from fracture to surgery affect mortality and intraoperative medical complications for hip fracture patients? An observational study of 73 557 patients reported to the Norwegian Hip Fracture Register.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated mortality and risk of intraoperative medical complications depending on delay to hip fracture surgery by using data from the Norwegian Hip Fracture Regression Regression (HFR) dataset.
Journal ArticleDOI
More reoperations for periprosthetic fracture after cemented hemiarthroplasty with polished taper-slip stems than after anatomical and straight stems in the treatment of hip fractures: a study from the Norwegian Hip Fracture Register 2005 to 2016.
TL;DR: It is confirmed that implant survival after cemented hemiarthroplasty for a hip fracture is high and differences in rates of reoperation seem to favour anatomical and straight stems compared with polished tapered stems, which had a higher risk of periprosthetic fracture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Posterior approach compared to direct lateral approach resulted in better patient-reported outcome after hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fracture
Torbjørn Berge Kristensen,Tarjei Vinje,Leif Ivar Havelin,Lars B. Engesæter,Jan-Erik Gjertsen +4 more
TL;DR: Hemiarthroplasty for hip fracture performed through a posterior approach rather than a direct lateral approach results in less pain, with better patient satisfaction and better quality of life, and the risk of reoperation was similar with both approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fixation, sex, and age: highest risk of revision for uncemented stems in elderly women - data from 66,995 primary total hip arthroplasties in the Norwegian Arthroplasty Register.
Håvard Dale,Håvard Dale,Sjur Børsheim,Torbjørn Berge Kristensen,Anne Marie Fenstad,Jan-Erik Gjertsen,Jan-Erik Gjertsen,Geir Hallan,Geir Hallan,Stein Atle Lie,Stein Atle Lie,Ove Furnes,Ove Furnes +12 more
TL;DR: Uncemented stems (all-uncemented and reverse hybrid THAs) had increased risk of revision in women over 55 years of age, mainly due to periprosthetic fracture and dislocation, and should probably not be used in THA in these patients.
