Objective To investigate the clinical e cacy of hip arthroplasty in treating intracapsular femoral neck fracture in elderly patients. Methods From January 2010 to December 2012, 198 patients with intracapsular femoral neck fractures (Garden Ⅲ and Ⅳ ), aged between 65 and 85 years old were selected to be treated with hip arthroplasty. Clinical evaluation including Harris hip score, Barthel index, postoperative complications and activities of daily living were performed. Results The patients were followed up for an average time of 15.6 months. At the follow-up time of 12 months, the Harris scores were 85-98, averaging 94.5; the Barthel indexes were 86-97, averaging 94.0. The main postoperative complications were subcutaneous fat necrosis (3 cases), deep venous thrombosis of lower limbs (2 cases), bedsores (2 cases), pulmonary infection (4 cases), dislocation (2 cases) and pain (4 cases). More than 95% of the patients had a satisfactory treatment and recovered activities of daily living. Conclusion Hip arthroplasty reduces postoperative complications caused by prolonged bed rest and helps the patients get back to normal activities of daily living early, so it is an effective method to treat intracapsular femoral neck fractures and is suitable for widespread clinical application.
