Key result
Insertion of a microporous coated Austin-Moore type hip prosthesis in 34 patients resulted in 4 reoperations (11.8%) and 10 cases (29.4%) of radiolucent lines over a 3-year period.

Does a microporous coated Austin-Moore type prosthesis result in successful bone ingrowth and clinical stability in patients requiring hip replacement?
Early clinical evaluation of a microporous coated metal hip prosthesis revealed significant failure of bone ingrowth, highlighting the need for modifications in prosthesis design and postoperative management.
Hugh U. Cameron (1982) conducted an observational in Need for hip prosthesis (n=34). Microporous coated Austin-Moore type prosthesis was evaluated on Reoperations. Insertion of a microporous coated Austin-Moore type hip prosthesis in 34 patients resulted in 4 reoperations (11.8%) and 10 cases (29.4%) of radiolucent lines over a 3-year period.
