Implication

Case-control study reveals poor ten-year implant survivorship and frequent complications in hip arthroplasty patients under 30, suggesting alternative treatments should be prioritized.

Key Points

To determine the functional outcomes, survivorship, and independent risk factors associated with revision total hip arthroplasty in patients younger than 30 years.
Retrospective case-control study reviewing clinical records and radiographs of 55 patients younger than 30 years (mean age 24.3 years) who underwent 77 hip revisions, with a mean follow-up of 6.2 years (range, 1–15 years).
Compared outcomes and variables of the revision group against a nonrevised control cohort comprising 819 total hip arthroplasties performed in patients younger than 30 years.
Ten-year implant survivorship following revision was 36% (95% CI, 21%–51%), with high postoperative complication rates: 15% dislocation, 14% fracture, and 7.8% neurologic lesions.
Independent risk factors for revision included younger age at primary surgery (OR 1.14 [95% CI, 1.07–1.19]), a high number of prior surgeries (OR 5.41 [95% CI, 2.67–10.98]), and a history of dislocation (OR 3.98 [95% CI, 1.74–9.07]).
Hard-on-soft bearing couples demonstrated a significantly elevated risk of revision compared to hard-on-hard bearings (OR 3.42 [95% CI, 1.91–6.10]).
