AUSTIN MOORE

A classic hip hemiarthroplasty that remains a cost-effective treatment option.

Austin Moore characteristics:

The Austin Moore prosthesis was first implanted in 1940, when Dr. Austin Moore (1899–1963), performed the first metal hip replacement at Columbia Hospital in South Carolina.

Moore designed a proximal femoral prosthesis with a big head and a length of 30 cm. (approx.), which was fixed to the end of the femoral axis. This is the origin of hemiarthroplasty or partial hip replacement.

At Surgival we manufacture the improved version that was developed later, known as the Austin Moore prosthesis. This type of implant is still used today in femoral neck fractures.
