Austin Moore Hip Prosthesis

Austin Moore Hip Prosthesis

The Austin Moore Hip Prosthesis is a time-tested orthopedic implant used in hemiarthroplasty to replace the femoral head. It is specifically designed for patients with displaced femoral neck fractures, particularly the elderly, where a quick and effective restoration of hip stability is required. The prosthesis features a classic design with a solid or fenestrated stem that allows for bone ingrowth and long-term biological fixation.

Manufactured from high-strength, biocompatible materials such as Cobalt-Chromium-Molybdenum alloy or stainless steel, this prosthesis is built to withstand significant weight-bearing stresses. The stem is designed with a specific curvature and a collar to sit securely on the calcar of the femur, providing immediate mechanical stability.

Uses

The Austin Moore Hip Prosthesis is used for the partial replacement of the hip joint.

  • Treatment of subcapital and transcervical femoral neck fractures

  • Management of avascular necrosis of the femoral head

  • Revision surgery for failed internal fixation in elderly patients

  • Restoring mobility in patients with limited life expectancy or low activity levels

Features

Engineered for anatomical compatibility and secure fixation, this prosthesis ensures reliable joint restoration.

  • Fenestrated Stem: Large openings in the stem allow bone to grow through, providing secondary biological fixation.

  • Calcar Collar: A wide collar at the base of the neck to prevent the prosthesis from sinking into the femoral canal.

  • Standardized Sizing: Available in a wide range of head diameters to match the patient's natural anatomy.

  • High Polished Head: Minimizes friction and wear against the natural acetabulum (hip socket).

Applications

Used in major orthopedic surgery units specializing in trauma and geriatric care.

  • Orthopedic and trauma surgery departments

  • Specialized geriatric healthcare centers

  • Military and rehabilitation hospitals

Disclaimer

This orthopedic implant is a permanent medical device for professional surgical use only.

  • Intended for single-use only; do not re-sterilize or reuse

  • Selection of the correct head size is critical to prevent joint instability or acetabular erosion

  • Post-operative weight-bearing and physiotherapy must be managed by a qualified orthopedic surgeon
