Postoperative dislocation is the major problem with this approach. The conjoined tendon-preserving posterior (CPP) approach is a less invasive surgical approach than the conventional posterior approach to the hip, maintains posterior stability, and preserves short external rotators and joint capsules. However, the mention was required to avoid muscle damage and whether muscle damage affects postoperative dislocation or not. The current study aimed to evaluate the clinical results of the CPP approach in hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures and identify muscle damage risk factors. Materials and Methods: This study was a retrospective cohort study and included 170 hips in 168 patients. The mean age at the operation was 81.2 years. The preservation rate of the internal obturator muscle and gemellus inferior muscle and factors related to intraoperative short rotator muscle injury were investigated retrospectively. The postoperative complications and the relation between muscle damage and postoperative dislocation were investigated. Results: In the four hips (2.3%) with the obturator internus muscle damage, thirty-eight hips (22.4%) with gemellus inferior muscle damage were detected; in the muscle-damaged cases, the high body mass index (BMI) was significantly higher. The complication occurred in four hips (2.3%), including postoperative posterior dislocation in one hip without muscle damage (0.6%). Postoperative infection occurred in one hip (0.6%), and peroneal or sciatic nerve paralysis was suspected in two hips (1.1%). Conclusions: Compared to the conventional posterior approach in previous reports, the CPP approach reduces postoperative dislocation. A higher BMI is a risk factor for muscle damage, and the gemellus inferior muscle damage has no effect on postoperative dislocation. The CPP approach for BHA appeared to be an effective treatment method.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina60030356","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,21]],"date-time":"2024-02-21T04:23:10Z","timestamp":1708489390000},"page":"356","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Clinical Outcomes of Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty with a Conjoined Tendon-Preserving Posterior Approach for Femoral Neck Fractures"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"60","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8679-9121","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hidetatsu","family":"Tanaka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Yamagata City Hospital Saiseikan, 3-26, Nanokamachi, Yamagata 990-8533, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine, 1-1 Seiryo-machi, Aoba-ku, Sendai 980-8574, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8225-4690","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yu","family":"Mori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine, 1-1 Seiryo-machi, Aoba-ku, Sendai 980-8574, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Atsushi","family":"Noro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Yamagata City Hospital Saiseikan, 3-26, Nanokamachi, Yamagata 990-8533, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Toshihisa","family":"Yano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Yamagata City Hospital Saiseikan, 3-26, Nanokamachi, Yamagata 990-8533, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1571-5618","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Toshimi","family":"Aizawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine, 1-1 Seiryo-machi, Aoba-ku, Sendai 980-8574, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Keiji","family":"Masuda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Yamagata City Hospital Saiseikan, 3-26, Nanokamachi, Yamagata 990-8533, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"909","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jos.2017.06.003","article-title":"Survey of hip fractures in Japan: Recent trends in prevalence and treatment","volume":"22","author":"Hagino","year":"2017","journal-title":"J.
