Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relatively long-term outcomes in 50 patients (54 hips) younger than 50 years of age who underwent total hip arthroplasty using highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) liners. With a minimum follow-up of 10 years, mean age at time of surgery was 38.9 years (range, 15-50 years). Survivorship was 100%. There was no radiographic evidence of osteolysis or component loosening. Mean steady-state femoral head penetration rate was 0.020 ± 0.0047 mm/yr. Clinical outcomes were excellent, with mean Harris hip score of 91.2 (range, 72-99) points at final follow-up.
