%X <B>UNASSIGNED: </B>The use of cemented fixation is widely recommended in hip arthroplasty for hip fractures, although it is not used universally.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>We describe the trends in cementing prevalence in hemiarthroplasty for hip fractures in Canada for patients ≥55 years old between April 2017 and March 2022.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>The national prevalence of cemented fixation increased from 43% in 2017/18 to 58% in 2021/22, but there was a large variety of both the baseline prevalence and the trends across the country and between individual hospitals. The proportion of surgeons only performing cementless fixation fell from 30% to 21% between 2018/19 and 2021/22.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>As cemented fixation is now universally recommended, more coordination is needed to track these trends and to help drive implementation of this evidence-based practice across Canada.
