Description
The results of a consecutive series of 500 patients treated with Austin Moore hemiarthroplasty prosthesis are reported. The range of follow-up was from 5-12 years and the mean was 8 years. Only 10 patients were lost to follow-up and 398 (81%) patients died within the follow-up period. The mean age of the patient population was 82 years, and 85% were women. The cumulative survivorship of the prosthesis was calculated at 94% (95% CI 90-96%) at 5 years and 83% (95% CI 65-94%) at 12 years. A total of 66 secondary operations of any type were required in 46 (9%) patients. Revision of the Austin Moore prosthesis was performed in 23 cases (5%). Of the long-term survivors contacted for follow-up, 66 (81%) had no pain or minimal pain, whilst 5 (6%) reported constant pain in the hip. The revision rates in our series were higher for younger patients, those from their own home and with good pre-fracture mobility and mental function. For the frail elderly with a displaced intracapsular fracture this prosthesis can still be recommended. This paper presents the largest consecutive series, with the longest follow-up, currently available. © 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
