OBJECTIVE: The present meta-analysis illustrates relevant information about hip replacement in young patients that has been published during the past 3 decades. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Based on a MedLine literature review a total of 95 studies were evaluated. Parameters for evaluation of study quality and outcome were implant survival rates (ISR),number of patients, indications, follow-up, surgical approaches and number of surgeons. RESULTS: Most studies consider patient numbers <50. In 33 studies one implant system was applied compared to 65 studies in which more than one system was used. Most studies include different surgical approaches. 20% of all studies contained neither the number of surgeons,nor the type of surgical approach. The overall ISR could be evaluated in 67 studies. Sufficient data about the ISR of stem and/or sockets were available in 50 papers. CONCLUSIONS: Most published studies analyzed inhomogeneous study populations; study variables vary as do the implants used for treatment.
