A significant change towards cemented fixation in revision total hip arthroplasty in patients younger than 55 years in the Netherlands: results of an observational cohort study in the Dutch Arthroplasty Register in 28,516 primary hip replacements and 1285 revision procedures

Background: Worldwide, the majority of total hip arthroplasties (THAs) placed in patients <55 years are uncemented. However, little is known about the preferred method of fixation in revision hip arthroplasty in young patients. The aim of this study was to assess potential differences in the method of fixation used between primary and revision THA in young patients using data from the Dutch Arthroplasty Register. Methods: All primary THA placed in patients younger than 55 years, registered in the LROI between 2007 and 2019 were included n = 28,516). Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were used... Mehr ...
