We have reviewed 107 patients of 80 years or over who underwent primary total hip replacement. They had many more complications than younger patients. Thus, acute dislocation occurred in 15%, and became chronic in 9%; there were femoral shaft fractures in 4.6% and these, with shaft perforation gave universally poor results. Nevertheless, 75% of patients had a satisfactory outcome, with worthwhile relief of pain. It would seem sensible to warn elderly patients and their relatives of the increased risks in this age group.
