Description
Summary:Promising results of total hip allowed to perform a hip replacement in younger and active patients. However, the results of arthroplasty in young populations are still not comparable with outcomes in patients of older age groups. The advent of new materials and further improvement of production technology is increasing interest in the use of alternative bearing surfaces, but to assess the effectiveness of each new implants needed long-term clinical studies. Use of any bearing surface has its own potential advantages and disadvantages that must be assessed in each case.
