SUMMARY

SURGERY
1. Stages I & II: pins across the fracture site or a cannulated hip screw.
2. Stages III & IV: replacement of the femoral head using cemented or non-cemented hemiarthroplasty; total hip replacement or bipolar arthroplasty.

IMPLANTS
1. Bipolar implants consist of a femoral component that articulates by snap-fit into a cup that moves freely within the acetabulum.
2. Theoretically reduces friction and impact at the prosthetic-acetabular junction by allowing motion at two sites: prosthetic inner-bearing surface and prosthetic-bearing acetabular surface.
3. Acetabular erosion and protrusion should theoretically be reduced by reducing motion at the acetabulum.
