Total Hip Arthroplasty in the Ultrayoung.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) procedures provide a surgical option for "ultrayoung" patients ≤30 years old with end-stage hip arthropathy. This has historically been coupled with concerns over early component failure and challenging surgical technique leading to increased risk of overall morbidity. The purpose of this study is to better elucidate the poorly defined indications and outcomes for THA in ultrayoung patients with end-stage hip disease.

Methods

A total of 40 THAs in 35 patients ≤30 years old performed at our institution from 2009 to 2016 were retrospectively followed for an average of 2 years (median 11 months, interquartile range 1-31.25). Primary outcome measure was THA revision. Patient demographics were compared against outcomes. The effects on revis
