  • Title: [The cementless Moore prosthesis in femoral neck fractures of the aged].
    Author: Schoppmeier K, Kettwich W.
    Journal: Zentralbl Chir; 1984; 109(9):607-11. PubMed ID: 6741325.
    Abstract:
    We report on 207 cases of elderly patients suffering from femoral neck fractures treated with cementless Moore-hip prosthesis in the years 1967 to 1979. Low complication rate and good functional results were also confirmed in 29 follow-up examinations 3 years or more after arthroplastic. Loosening of prosthesis, breaking of material or protrusio acetabuli could not be found. The method is easy to be learned and well tolerated by the aged patients. In regard of the contraindications it leads to good results.
