30-Year Follow-Up of Total Hip Replacement: Longevity of Charnley Cemented Total Hip Replacement in a Young Patient

View through CrossRef
The gold standard for cemented hip replacement is the Charnley lowfriction hip replacement. Orthopaedic therapies, such as total hip replacement, have a remarkably high success rate. It relieves patients from pain and improves walking ability and the overall quality of life. We report a 30-year follow-up of our case, a total hip replacement done by a senior joint replacement surgeon at our hospital. A 34-year-old patient, teacher by profession, who was a case of bilateral secondary hip arthritis to Ankylosing Spondylitis, was bed-bound and severely disabled and was operated with total hip replacement in 1995. Long-term follow-up based on functional Harris Hip Score, radiographic status and patient-related outcome measures (PROM). We conclude that Charnley’s cemented total hip replacement has given a time-tested long-term result and is a gold standard surgery if it is done following proper technique.
