Austin Moore Hip Prosthesis

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.

Orthopaedic Implants & Instruments

Orthopaedic implants are devices used to replace or facilitate fixation of bone or to replace articulating surfaces of a joint. In other words, orthopaedic implants are used to replace damaged or troubled joints. These orthopaedic implants are generally made with stainless steel or titanium alloys for strength and each orthopaedic implant is designed to correct the affected joint so that it withstand the movement and stress associated and to enhance mobility and decrease painThe orthopaedic surgeries involving fixing of implant are performed by highly specialized and trained surgeons. The surgical procedures for each implant involves removal of the damaged joint and an artificial prosthesis replacement.
