[Moore hemiarthroplasty of the hip for treatment of femoral neck fracture].
A series of 158 hemiarthroplasties of the hip with the use of Moore prosthesis has been performed in patients with recent femoral neck fractures or its complication (nonunion, necrosis) between 1980 and 1992. From 73 patients operated between 1986 and 1990 32 showed up for clinical assessment, 11 responded in writing to the questionnaire. In 26 cases the result was rated good, in 9 fair and 8 results were poor. Twenty-five patients died. The authors explain small number of patients who reported themselves for evaluation by high mortality rate due to the old age and general medical problems. Authors' findings supported by the literature indicate, that hemiarthroplasty of the hip remains as a useful mode of treatment for femoral neck fracture or its complications.
