National Trends in Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty in Extremely Young Patients: A Focus on Bearing Surface Usage from 2009 to 2012

Background The ideal bearing surface for primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) in young patients remains a debate. Data on recent national trends is lacking. The purpose of this study is to provide an analysis on the national epidemiological trends of bearing surface usage in patients 30 years and yo...

Description
Summary:Background The ideal bearing surface for primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) in young patients remains a debate. Data on recent national trends is lacking. The purpose of this study is to provide an analysis on the national epidemiological trends of bearing surface usage in patients 30 years and younger undergoing THA from 2009 through 2012. Methods Using the Healthcare-Cost-and-Utilization-Project Nationwide Inpatient Sample from 2009-2012, 9,265 THA discharges (4,210 coded by bearing surface) were identified in patients 30 and younger. Prevalence of surface type was analyzed along with patient and hospital demographic data. Statistical analysis was performed using SAS (SAS version 9.1.; SAS, Inc., Cary, NC) Significance was set for p
