Longevity of Cemented Total Hip Replacement in Patient Younger than 50 Years Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Abstract

otal hip replacement is one of the most common and effective forms of surgery, resulting in generally excellent outcomes. Total hip replacement can provide pain relief and restore function in patients suffering from hip arthritis, including in those under the age of 50. However, shortened implant longevity in this age group has been a concern because the clinical results after revision surgery are inferior to those after primary hip arthroplasty. Technical choices (approach, implants, type of fixation and bearing couple) must be made to maximise longevity based on published data and thoroughly discussed with the patient
