Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Objective; To document the functional outcome of fracture neck of femur treated with hemiarthroplasty using HHS,KATZ-ADL,TUG-Test and Gait speed. Methodology; Patients with neck of femur fracture admitted in the RMMC&H between 2010 to 2012 for surgical management [hemiarthroplasty] were included in this study. Patient who had elective hemiarthroplasty and admitted for post operative management were included in this study. Based on the selection criteria 58 Patients were recruited from the wards of orthopaedics.50 Patients completed the evaluation [HHS, KATZ-ADL, TUG-Test and Gait speed]. Results; while comparing the findings on third post operative day, at the time of discharge and at four months statistical analysis showed that there was significant improvement in all 4 outcome measures. Conclusion; Based on the results we concluded that hemiarthroplasty is a effective procedure in improving functional outcome in treating for the fracture neck of femur.
