The study aims to analyze epidemiology of patients sustaining neck of femur fracture and the functional outcomes following hemiarthroplasty. Methods: This is a observational cross-section study in a single tertiary care center of Nepal. Senior citizens, 60 years or above patients, with neck of femur fracture who underwent hemiarthroplasty from January 2017 to December 2022 were included in the study. Patient related data were retrieved from the medical record department of the hospital. A semi-structured proforma was designed which included patient demographic information, operative details and follow up evaluation using Modified Harris Hip Score. Ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Committee (Reference number: 34/24). Results: The median Modified Harris Hip score for patients who received hemiarthroplasty for neck of femur fracture from January 2017 to December 2022 was 79 (IQR: 74-86), with 4 (9.30%) achieving excellent results, 19 (41.19%) good, 14 (32.56%) fair, and 6 (13.95%) poor outcomes. Conclusions: Hemiarthroplasty emerges as a valuable treatment for femoral neck fractures in senior citizens, aged 60 and above, providing good functional results.en-USArticle
