Functional outcome of cemented austin moor hemiarthroplasty for treatment of neck femur fracture in elderly.
Article in European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundFemoral neck fractures in elderly patients are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Treatment options include internal fixation, hemiarthroplasty, and total hip arthroplasty, with the Austin Moore prosthesis representing a cost-effective choice in resource-limited settings. PURPOSE: To assess the efficacy and safety of the cemented Austin Moore prosthesis in elderly, low-demand patients with femoral neck fractures in a resource-limited setting.
methodsThis prospective study included 52 patients aged over 65 years who underwent hemiarthroplasty with the Austin Moore prosthesis between January 2020 and January 2022 at Amran General Hospital, Yemen. Functional outcomes were assessed using the Harris Hip Score (HHS) and the Parker and Palmer Mobility Score at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively.
resultsForty-nine patients completed the 24 month follow-up. The mean age was 75.8 years, with a male-to-female ratio of 0.69:1. The mean HHS at 2 years was 85.4; 16.3% of patients achieved excellent outcomes, 55.1% good, 20.4% fair, and 8.2% poor. The Parker and Palmer Mobility Score indicated that 71.4% of patients had a score greater than 5. Postoperative complications included superficial infections (4%), deep-vein thrombosis (8.1%), and mild limb length discrepancy (6.2%).
conclusionHemiarthroplasty using the Austin Moore prosthesis is a cost-effective and reliable treatment for femoral neck fractures in elderly patients, providing good functional outcomes and a low complication rate in resource-limited settings.
