Post-operative rehabilitation included review by ortho-geriatrician on next ward round usually within one working day and physiotherapy on day one post-operatively or as soon as medical condition would allow. All patients had radiographs post-operatively as soon as possible and prior to discharge. There was no routine follow up organized for patients following their discharge from the hospital.
All ASA grade I patients with intra-capsular fracture neck of femur, who live active life, were offered total hip replacement as per guidelines from NICE. Similarly, patients with significant osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis were offered total hip replacement for intra-capsular fractured neck of femur. ASA grade IV patients with very …show more content…

This system has best available ODEP rating of 10A and has proven record for its use in total hip replacement. In this system, femoral stems were available in different sizes ranging between 0 to 5. For each size, surgeons had choice of standard as well as extended offsets to achieve adequate tissue tension and stability. In addition, surgeons also had choice of neck extensions of 3.5, 7.5 and 10.5 mm to restore anatomy and achieve better stability.
This change was introduced in 2012 to comply with NICE guidelines for use of implants with proven records and known ODEP ratings, as well as to reduce rate of dislocation of hemiarthroplasty of the hip in these frail patients. Prior to introduction of CPT system, departmental training for the use of implants was conducted and templating of pre-operative radiographs were introduced. Templating of radiographs was done by printing the hard copies of pelvis views with other side of normal hip available for use in templating.
Patients records and data were retrieved from electronic records including BlueSpier® theatre management system, theatre implant records as well as Patient Administration System (PAS) used in NHS. Radiographs were reviewed from Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). Hard copy records of all patients with dislocation of the hip hemiarthroplasty were reviewed for assessment of further management and
