Abstract

Between 1971 and 1991 we performed Charnley low-friction arthroplasty (LFA) on 116 patients (186 hips) with juvenile chronic arthritis (JCA). We have now carried out a survival study, taking endpoints as revision, death or the end of the year 1993.

Overall survival was 91.9% at ten years and 83.0% at 15 years. That of the femoral component was 95.6% at ten years and 91.9% at 15 years and of the acetabulum 95.0% and 87.8%, respectively. Only the use of steroids significantly impaired the survival.

We therefore recommend the use of Charnley LFA for young patients with JCA requiring total hip replacement.
