Introduction

The longevity of total hip replacements in young active patients is a cause for concern as increased cyclical loading can result in early loosening of implants resulting in multiple revisions during the patient's lifetime. The study presented demonstrates excellent survival of the HAC-coated femoral stems in young active individuals.

Patients/Materials & Methods

33 Patients under 50 years of age underwent 38 total hip arthroplasties using the JRI Furlong HAC-coated femoral stem. The retrospective evaluation of the prospectively collected data of the cohort at 17 to 25 years is presented.
