Total hip replacement using an alumina head and socket and a titanium alloy stem is evaluated in a series of patients under 50 years of age. Between April 1977 and December 1986, 86 such replacements were performed in 75 patients, but mainly because patients had difficulty travelling from Africa, only 71 hips were followed up adequately; of these, 56 were primary procedures and 15 revisions. Survivorship analysis showed that 98% of the prostheses were retained for 10 years. On clinical and radiological examination 51 of the 71 hips were stable and acceptable, 15 had radiological changes on the acetabular side, and one on the femoral side; four other cases had clinical and radiological changes suggesting impending failure, possibly because fixation of the socket was inadequate. There were no differences between the results of the primary procedures and those of revisions. In these young patients, the results seem better with alumina-on-alumina hips than with other varieties, possibly because of their remarkably low wear.
