Abstract

I read with great interest the article titled “Bipolar hemiarthroplasty for the treatment of femoral neck fractures with minimally invasive anterior approach in elderly.” by Bűcs et al. [1]. They performed an interesting retrospective study to evaluate the efficacy of bipolar hemiarthroplasty with minimally invasive direct anterior approach (DAA) for the treatment of femoral neck fracture in elderly patients, and concluded that the bipolar hemiarthroplasty with DAA allows earlier mobilisation, reduced postoperative pain and need for rehabilitation with an overall better functional outcome, compared to the standard anterolateral approach (ALA).
