In this study, we found a markedly longer survival time after press-fit hemiarthroplasty, which we believe reflects surgeons' tendencies to cement the femoral prosthesis in patients with more comorbidities. However, press-fit hemiarthroplasties were more likely to result in repeat procedures on the same hip. Displaced geriatric femoral neck fractures may benefit from a cemented rather than press-fit hemiarthroplasty.
