Abstract
Background: In developing country like India operation and prosthesis need to be cost effective and efficacious to improve quality of life in post op period. Hemiarthroplasty with Austein-Moore prosthesis is most promising treatment modality in Indian context as per our study. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the outcome of hemi replacement arthroplasty in which whole of the head and variable part of neck of femur is being replaced by a metallic made prosthetic implant. Methods: The present study comprised of 60 patients of age group 40-80 years in which 32 were males and 28 were females was conducted on patients who had undergone hemireplacement arthroplasty. Results: More than half of the patients were between 60-69 years (53.4%). Males were 53.4%. It was observed that patients treated by hemireplacement arthroplasty were having very less or negligible amount of limb length discrepancy. Majority of the patients started walking without any aid after the treatment. Only 16.7% used single stick for walking. Most of the patient had range of movement more than critical range which permitted easy ambulation for daily routine. The Harris Hip score was good in 53.3% of the patients and excellent was in 36.7%. The fair Harris Hip score was in only10% of the patients. The radiological assessment showed that most of the patients had good results both functionally as well as radiologically.
