Increased incidence of osteoporosis in this age group, only further complicates fracture management and to that end the outcome. Overemphasis cannot be made on the need for immediate mobilization to avoid serious complications. There are multiple treatment options but only a few have the ability of immediate mobilization of the patient. Aims: To study the benefits of coxofemoral bypass using cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty in the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fracture of the femur for early mobilization and reduction in morbidity in the elderly population. Materials and Methods: The present cross-sectional study was carried out in the department of orthopaedics at Rural Medical College.56 cases of unstable intertrochanteric fractures treated by coxofemoral bypass using a cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty were selected for the study. The patient undergoing this procedure from1/05/2015 to 31/04/2020 were selected for the present study. Results: Final results were calculated using Harris-Hip Score. Out of 56 cases, 46.4% of cases had excellentand 35.7% and 8.9 % of patients had good and fair results respectively. Conclusion: Coxofemoral bypass using cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty is a good treatment option for elderly patients with unstable intertrochanteric fractures showing significant reduction in morbidity and improvement in the early mobilization of patients. Coxofemoral bypass using cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty in unstable intertrochanteric fractures of the femur has an added advantage of stable adequate fixation with early return of activities of daily living thereby reducing patient morbidity and long-standing complications of immobility.&#13;
