Ahmad A, et al. - Experts assessed the outcome of octogenarian patients undergoing uncemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) with a control group of similarly aged patients undergoing hybrid THA with a minimum 5-year follow-up. Findings suggested that for the octogenarian patient, uncemented THA was safe. Authors suggested that age should not be a barrier to the choice of implant. Nonetheless, surgeons should be guided by the intraoperative assessment of bone quality to the optimum decision regarding uncemented and hybrid implants.
