"Population-Based Rates of Revision of Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review." PLoS ONE 5, no. 10 (2010): e13520. DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.00135201932-6203https://nrs.harvard.edu/URN-3:HUL.INSTREPOS:37372978Background: Most research on failure leading to revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) is reported from single centers. We searched PubMed between January 2000 and August 2010 to identify population- or community-based studies evaluating ten-year revision risks. We report ten-year revision risk using the Kaplan-Meier method, stratifying by age and fixation technique. Results: Thirteen papers met the inclusion criteria. Cemented prostheses had Kaplan-Meier estimates of revision-free implant survival of ten years ranging from 88% to 95%; uncemented prostheses had Kaplan-Meier estimates from 80% to 85%. Estimates ranged from 72% to 86% in patients less than 60 years old and from 90 to 96% in older patients. Conclusion: Data reported from national registries suggest revision risks of 5 to 20% ten years following primary THA. Revision risks are lower in older THA recipients. Uncemented implants may have higher ten-year rates of revision, regardless of age.en-USMultidisciplinaryJournal Article2022-08-0910.1371/journal.pone.0013520
