J Orthop Trauma 2002, 16:317-322. This article showed no difference in complications, dislocation, and functional outcomes between the two groups. The only significant difference was the cost of the implants.

Good article to support the use of hemiarthroplasty in the elderly: 83% of the patients returned to preinjury residential status.

This study had a small patient population but did show that in all patients treated with hemiarthroplasty, acetabular erosion developed at 9 years. Excellent comparison between the two forms of treatment within the same patient. All the patients available for follow-up preferred the THA to contralateral hemiarthroplasty.
