Abstract
Primary prosthetic replacement has become the method of treatment for acute subcapital
fractures of the femur and is now widely accepted as a treatment for elderly patients.
This paper presents the incidence of acetabular erosion by Monk (hard top) hip prostheses
for subcapital fractures as compared with that by Austin Moore prostheses.
