Challenges and perspectives of total hip arthroplasty in young adults: A study of 74 patients

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) proves to be a viable option for younger patients. The short- and medium-term outcomes were generally satisfactory, with a relatively average complication rate. This study favored uncemented implants and ceramic-ceramic coupling. Proper selection of indications and equipment is crucial to achieving good long-term results and minimizing complications. Our study underscores the significance of THA in young patients, especially for specific conditions that benefit from this intervention. Despite promising functional outcomes, potential complications such as loosening and recurrent fractures must be considered. Careful patient assessment and regular postoperative follow-up are vital for optimal results. Further research is necessary to deepen our understanding of this procedure in the younger population.
