Concise guidelines are presented for the preparation and conduct of anaesthesia and surgery in patients undergoing cemented hemiarthroplasty for hip fracture.
Abstract
Concise guidelines are presented for the preparation and conduct of anaesthesia and surgery in patients undergoing cemented hemiarthroplasty for hip fracture. The Working Party specifically considered recent publications highlighting complications occurring during the peri-operative period. The advice presented is based on previously published advice and clinical studies.

Hip arthroplasty for the treatment of displaced fractures of the femoral neck in elderly patients.

TL;DR: This review summarises the evidence for the treatment of displaced fractures of the femoral neck in elderly patients and suggests that total hip arthroplasty (THA) may be particularly advantageous for active, lucid patients with a relatively long life expectancy and unipolar implants are considered to be sufficient.

AAGBI: Safer pre-hospital anaesthesia 2017: Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland.

TL;DR: Pre‐hospital emergency anaesthesia with oral tracheal intubation is the technique of choice for trauma patients who cannot maintain their airway or achieve adequate ventilation and should be carried out as soon as safely possible, and performed to the same standards as in‐hospitalEmergency anaesthesia.

Cemented or Uncemented Hemiarthroplasty for Femoral Neck Fracture? Data from the Norwegian Hip Fracture Register.

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.

Perioperative mortality after hemiarthroplasty related to fixation method : a study based on the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of fixation method on revision rate and mortality was examined for 25,000 hemiarthroplasty cases from the AOA National Joint Replacement Registry.

Bone cement implantation syndrome

TL;DR: It is possible to identify high risk groups of patients in which avoidable morbidity and mortality may be minimized by surgical selection for uncemented arthroplasty, and Invasive anaesthetic monitoring should be considered during cemented arthroPLasty in high risk patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Arthroplasties (with and without bone cement) for proximal femoral fractures in adults

TL;DR: Cementing prostheses in place seems to reduce pain post-operatively and results in better mobility, but because of the under-reporting of outcomes and the small number of patients involved, no definite conclusions can be made.

Bone cement implantation syndrome in cemented hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fracture: incidence, risk factors, and effect on outcome

TL;DR: Bone cement implantation syndrome is a commonly occurring phenomenon in cemented hemiarthroplasty and severe BCIS has a huge impact on early and late mortality.
