Implant survival after primary total hip arthroplasty due to childhood hip disorders Results from the Danish Hip Arthroplasty Registry

We found an encouraging rate of long-term implant survival for patients with childhood hip disorders. The major concern is the increased risk of revision because of dislocation in the first 6 postoperative months for patients with acetabular dysplasia. However, the advent of alternative bearings and the use of large-diameter femoral heads may improve the outcome after primary THA in these patients.
