There is sparse evidence regarding the survivorship beyond 20 years of both uncemented and cemented hip replacements in patients 50 years and under. We report a unique series reviewing 20–26 year follow-up of patients ≤50 years with cemented Exeter THR. We reviewed the survivorship with clinical and radiological outcomes of 138 consecutive cemented THR's in 113 patients ≤50 years. The pre-op diagnoses included Osteoarthritis (30%), DDH (25%), RA (9%) and Post traumatic OA (5%), and 31% of patients had previous surgery to the hip. All patients were followed up at 5 year intervals and there was no patient lost to follow up.Introduction
