Primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most commonly performed procedures in the US. With recent advancement in technology in conjunction with an aging population, addressing methods to optimize THA in the geriatric population has become essential. Historically, cemented THA has been a successful approach in this unique population, as the cement component is able to reinforce long bones with poor bone stock seen in osteoporosis and osteomalacia. However, cementing does increase the risk of bone cement implantation syndrome (BMIS) induced cardiovascular collapse as well as create a difficult surgical course if revision THA is indicated, such as in hip fracture from a fall. Therefore, cementless options that reduce these complications are being reconsidered. The purpose of this study is to examine existing literature for evidence of efficacy and outcomes of primary cemented THA in the elderly.
