Abstract
RSA in patients younger than 55 years provides significant clinical improvements with high implant retention at up to 12 years. Patients undergoing revision RSA begin with worse function than those undergoing primary RSA, but they can expect similar degrees of improvement. Complications were higher but reoperation rates were lower in the revision group. No mechanical failures occurred in the primary group, with infection the cause of all revisions.
