Hip fractures in elderly patients are a serious concern and require timely treatment to restore mobility and avoid complications. One of the most reliable and time-tested solutions is the Cemented Half Hip Replacement – also known as Cemented Hemiarthroplasty. This procedure is especially beneficial for elderly individuals with fractures of the femoral neck.
What is Cemented Half Hip Replacement?
A Cemented Half Hip Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty) is a surgical procedure where the damaged head of the thigh bone (femur) is replaced with an artificial implant. Unlike total hip replacement, only half the joint is replaced, and the new femoral head is fixed using bone cement for immediate stability.
This procedure is most commonly recommended for:
- Elderly patients with non-healing hip fractures
- Patients with low activity levels
- Osteoporotic bone conditions
- Cases where the socket (acetabulum) is still intact
Why Cemented Hip Replacement?
In cemented hip replacement, special orthopedic cement is used to anchor the implant firmly into the thigh bone. This provides:
- Immediate fixation
- Faster mobility after surgery
- Reduced risk of post-op loosening in elderly patients with weak bones
Who Needs This Surgery?
Cemented hemiarthroplasty is often suitable for:
- Individuals over 65-75 years of age
- Suffering from femoral neck / Intertrochanteric fractures
- With poor bone quality (osteoporosis)
- Who are unable to walk or sit due to severe hip pain
Delaying surgery in such cases can lead to bed sores, pneumonia, blood clots, and even mortality. Early surgery and mobilization are key to recovery.

Benefits of Cemented Half Hip Replacement
✅ Quick recovery – patients usually start walking within 24–48 hours
✅ Cost-effective and safe
✅ Less blood loss than total hip replacement
✅ Lower risk of dislocation
✅ Ideal for frail and elderly patients
This procedure is backed by decades of research and is the gold standard for elderly hip fracture treatment.
Step-by-Step Overview of the Procedure
- Anesthesia is administered – usually spinal or regional
- The fractured femoral head is removed
- A specially designed metal implant is inserted into the femur
- Bone cement is used to secure the implant in place
- The wound is closed and recovery begins
The surgery usually takes 1 to 1.5 hours and patients are encouraged to start walking within 48 hours with assistance.
