Primary Moore-Head Prosthesis in a Case of Bilateral Fracture of the Femoral Neck

Subcapitol fractures of the proximal one-third of the femur are encountered ouite frequently. Application of prostheses in these fractures has been undertaken for more thon 30 years. The case we have presented heer is a patient who has a bilateral femoral neck fracture in a single injury and in whom a bilateral Moore-Head prosthesis has been achieved in onestage. It is remarkable that this has been the only case we have been confronted with in our clinic since 1963.
