- Brief Summary
The hip semiendoprosthesis is an acceptable method to treat the proximal femoral fractures. Traditionally, the cemented version of the semiendoprosthesis has been used for this indication. However, the cementing carries a risk of fat embolism during the pressurization of the cement. The fat embolism can be avoided when using the non-cemented semiendoprosthesis. In this study we want to find out whether there are any differences in the treatment results between the cemented and non-cemented semiendoprostheses when treating the proximal femoral fractures.
