Metal on Metal Hip Resurfacing in Patients 45 Years of Age and Younger at Minimum 5-Year Follow-Up

This study indicates that MoM-HR is a suitable option for young individuals, as demonstrated through improved functional scores and low revision rates. The survivorship of HR in the younger than 45 age-group was similar to that of total hip arthroplasty, as well as HR in older patients. Given the proposed benefits of HR, this procedure may be viewed as a viable option in patients aged younger than 45 years.
