Abstract
- We examined all reported outcomes of uncemented and cemented total hip arthroplasty in patients younger than 50 years of age listed in Medline (1966- 1 January 2009) and PubMed, and scrutinised reference lists of relevant papers. In addition, we evaluated relevant data in the Swedish hip arthroplasty register. 109 relevant articles were identified, 37 of which had a mean follow-up longer than 10 years. Although uncemented implants are widely used in patients under 50 years of age, there are only 2 reports that fulfil the criteria published by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) in the United Kingdom (follow-up of >10 yrs and survival of =90%). Current trends relating to implant selection remain unsupported by survival data, and additional information about the long-term results of newer implants is essential. As matters stand, the most reliable results relate to cemented implants.
