Abstract:
This report is to review the Moore prothesis replacement in the treatment of femoral head necrosis aiming to present some experiences, the long term results and the complications of this method. From these experiences, we suggest the reasonable surgical treatment for this hip disorder. 53 patients have been operated for femoral head necrosis with 62 Moore prothesis from the 1/1988 to the 12/1997; the average follow-up is 5 years. We divided them into 2 groups : the first 34 cases one is secondary to old fracture of the neck and the second, 19 cases with younger aging (48-56) including nine bilateral cases, is avascular necrosis. The result is evaluated following Juded point system: 45.6% good, 49% fair and 5% bad result. Early complications: hip dislocation 5%; infection 1.5%, trochateric mass fractures 11%. The late complications were loosening of the stem 115; migrations into the acetabulums 3%.
