Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Ceramic-on-ceramic total hip arthroplasty can be applied to young patients requiring frequent activity and high quality of life.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the short-term efficiency of ceramic-on-ceramic total hip arthroplasty in young and middle-aged patients of femoral neck fractures.
METHODS: Fifty-one young and middle-aged patients under 50 years old with ceramic-on-ceramic total hip arthroplasty were selected to analyze the function of hip joints and the complication after operation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: All the patients were followed up for 6 months to 44 months. At the last follow-up, the average Harris score was 92.0±3.4 points with an excellent and good rate of 94.1%. No dislocation was observed and three cases exhibited mild limping. Imaging examination showed that, no prosthesis loosing, broken, sinking or radiolucent line around prosthesis was observed. Ceramic-on-ceramic total hip arthroplasty in young patients with femoral neck fractures can effectively decrease the osteolysis, prosthesis loosing and sinking caused by the debris of wearing, prolong the working life of the prosthesis, and improve the patient’s quality of life.
