With the advances in medicine, an increasing number of the ageing population are a public health concern in terms of age-related complications. Among them, displaced neck fractures often require surgical intervention or arthroplasty to achieve the mobilization of the elderly and good life quality. The aim of the study is to monitor the changes in bone mineral density (BMD) around the femoral stem and the effects on functional outcomes in patients treated with cementless hemiarthroplasty following femoral neck fracture.
