Gerald Moore (surgeon)

Gerald Moore (born c. 1930s, likely in the United Kingdom; died July 27, 2019) was a British orthopaedic surgeon known for his pioneering work in hip replacement surgery. He specialized in the surgical management of hip and knee disorders.

Moore qualified as a surgeon and became a consultant orthopaedic surgeon at Wrightington Hospital, a center internationally renowned for its pioneering work in hip surgery, particularly by Sir John Charnley. He was a key figure in the development and refinement of hip replacement techniques in the post-Charnley era, contributing to improved implant designs and surgical approaches.

While not as widely known as Charnley, Moore played a significant role in training other surgeons and disseminating knowledge about hip replacement procedures. He published numerous articles in peer-reviewed medical journals on topics related to hip and knee arthroplasty. He was a member of several professional organizations related to orthopaedic surgery and lectured widely.

Moore retired from active surgical practice in the late 1990s. His death was noted by colleagues for his contributions to orthopaedic surgery and the betterment of patient care in the field of hip replacement.
