Dr. Austin T. Moore (1899-1963), an American surgeon performed the first metallic hip replacement surgery at Johns Hopkins hospital in 1940. The original design of the prosthesis he developed was a proximal femoral replacement, with a large fixed head, made of the Cobalt-Chrome alloy Vitallium. About a foot in length, it was bolted to the resected end of the femoral shaft (hemiarthroplasty). This was unlike later (and current) hip replacement prostheses which are inserted within the medullary canal of the femur. A later version of Dr. Moore's prosthesis (called as Austin Moore prosthesis) was introduced in 1952 and is still in use today.
