  Background: Total hip replacement in patients of younger age with higher levels of activity increases the risk of loosening and mechanical failure. Patients and Methods: Fifty patients 34 male and 16 (62 hips) with mean age of 24 years received a primary total hip replacement. The etiology for operation was juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in 10 patients, ankylosing spondylitis in 20, and posttraumatic hip arthritis in 20. Cementless total hip replacement was used in 36 patients (42 hips); hybrid (cementless cup and cemented stem) was used in 14 patients (20 hips). Merle d'Aubigne score was used for clinical evaluation preoperative and at the last follow up. DeLee and Charnley criteria of acetabulum were used to assess the acetabular stability. Gruen et al. zones of femoral stem were recoded to monitor loosening. Results:.. View More»
