+Hemiarthroplasty
===Evaluation===
====Configuration of total arthroplasty===
The direction of the acetabular cup influences the range of motion of the leg, and also affects the risk of dislocation.<ref name=Watt/> For this purpose, the ''acetabular inclination'' and the ''acetabular anteversion'' are measurements of cup angulation in the [[coronal plane]] and the [[sagittal plane]], respectively.

====Configuration of hemiarthroplasty====
[[File:Femoral offset in hemiarthroplasty.jpg|thumb|Femoral offset in hemiarthroplasty.]]
The main measure after hemiarthroplasty is femoral (neck) offset, which is defined as the perpendicular distance between the intramedullary or longitudinal axis of the femur and the center of rotation of the native or prosthetic femoral head. An unnatural offset, as compared to the contralateral side, is associated with hip dislocation.<ref name="JonesBriffa2017">{{cite journal|last1=Jones|first1=Carl|last2=Briffa|first2=Nikolai|last3=Jacob|first3=Joshua|last4=Hargrove|first4=Richard|title=The Dislocated Hip Hemiarthroplasty: Current Concepts of Etiological factors and Management|journal=The Open Orthopaedics Journal|volume=11|issue=Suppl-7, M4|year=2017|pages=1200–1212|issn=1874-3250|doi=10.2174/1874325001711011200}}</ref>
====Cement coverage====
'''Cement''' coverage is regarded as acceptable when there are no translucent zones on an anteroposterior image in at least 6 of 7 Gruen-zones.<ref name=SOA/> Absence of cement in zone 7 (medially-proximally) needs to be noted. On a lateral image, the distal tip of the prosthesis should be centered, and not be in contact with the cortex.<ref name=SOA/> The cup should not have translucent zones in zone 1 and 2. It is acceptable to have translucent zones in parts of zone 3.<ref name=SOA/>
