How long is my new hip last?

The results of modern cement less hip replacement are extraordinarily good (98% short term success, and over 90% still working at 20 years!). Many will last the full lifetime of the recipient, depending on the age of the patient. Others, particularly in very young and active people, will have some wear or loosening in time that will require revision surgery. We are recommending TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT in younger patients now because the results have been very good.
