Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Orthopedics - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Unipolar hemiarthroplasty still better than bipolar hemiarthroplasty in terms of range of motion, daily activities in Indian rural population. Minimum age of the patient is 60 years. AMP also has some advantages in prosthesis designs. Method: Patients with Fracture Neck of Femur above age group 60 years were treated by hemiarthroplasty with Austin Moore’s Prosthesis (AMP). Patients operated were prospectively recruited and follow-up for 10yrs was taken which included Clinical examination and Radiological findings on X-rays. All patients operated with posterior approach (Moores approach).Conclusion: AMP is simple, economical operation. Better results in rural population in India considering their daily activities.
