Various surgical approaches have been described for this operation, aiming to reduce complications and improve early mobilization. The present study compares two minimally invasive approaches, the anterolateral minimally invasive approach (ALMIS) and the direct superior approach (DSA), with respect to their intraoperative and early postoperative complications in cemented bipolar HA. Methods: The medical records of all patients undergoing cemented bipolar HA for a NOF fracture between January 2017 and December 2023 were analyzed. The aim of the study was to compare the two surgical approaches. The evaluation focused on intraoperative parameters and early complications. Results: A total of 226 patients were included in the analysis, with 62 undergoing DSA and 164 ALMIS, with an average age of 83.5 years. The two approaches did not differ significantly in terms of stem implantation quality, length of hospital or intensive care unit stay, postoperative mobilization, or the need for transfusions. However, the ALMIS was associated with a significantly shorter operative time (DSA: 89.7 min vs. ALMIS: 77.2 min; p &lt; 0.01). On the other hand, the DSA had a significantly lower complication rate (DSA: 0\/61 vs. ALMIS: 11\/163; p = 0.04). Conclusions: In a comparison of the two minimally invasive approaches, DSA and ALMIS, for treating a NOF fracture with cemented bipolar HA, the DSA demonstrated a lower complication rate, though it had a slightly longer operating time.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13216465","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,28]],"date-time":"2024-10-28T11:52:47Z","timestamp":1730116367000},"page":"6465","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Comparison of Short-Term Outcomes of DSA and ALMIS Approach for Bipolar Cemented Hemiarthroplasty in Patients with Neck of Femur Fracture"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Juliane","family":"Moussaoui","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Trauma, Hand and Reconstructive Surgery, University Hospital Jena, 07747 Jena, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1611-0370","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jakob","family":"Hallbauer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Trauma, Hand and Reconstructive Surgery, University Hospital Jena, 07747 Jena, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7565-6245","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arne","family":"Wilharm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Trauma, Hand and Reconstructive Surgery, University Hospital Jena, 07747 Jena, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ivan","family":"Marintschev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Trauma Surgery, Orthopaedics and Spinal Therapy, Catholic Hospital Erfurt, 99097 Erfurt, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gunther Olaf","family":"Hofmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Trauma, Hand and Reconstructive Surgery, University Hospital Jena, 07747 Jena, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4828-1812","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wolfram","family":"Weschenfelder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Trauma, Hand and Reconstructive Surgery, University Hospital Jena, 07747 Jena, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"788","DOI":"10.1016\/S0895-4356(03)00129-X","article-title":"Predicting survival after treatment for fracture of the proximal femur and the effect of delays to surgery","volume":"56","author":"Elliott","year":"2003","journal-title":"J.
