This study by Dr. Amy McIntosh at Mayo Clinic examines long-term results of total hip arthroplasty (THA), highlighting a remarkable 81.4% survival rate free of component removal or revision after 30 years. It discusses specific issues regarding hip surgery for younger patients, emphasizing the relevance of minimally invasive surgery (MIS). The findings suggest that while MIS aims for better recovery through smaller incisions, it could pose risks due to unpredictable alignment outcomes. Caution is advised when considering moving towards MIS techniques, given their potential impact on long-term success.

Specific Issues in Hip Surgery for Younger Patients • “Minimally Invasive Surgery” • Resurfacing Operations • Bearing Surfaces
M.I.S. Surgery • Marketing rather than a scientific term • Effort to perform joint surgery through smaller incisions • Goal of speeding patient recovery
Proceed with Caution • You’re in this for the 20 year rather than the 20 day outcome • Very subtle differences in artificial hip and knee alignment have a big impact in how long they last • Scientific studies of MIS surgery have shown less predictable alignment than standard surgery • Equal or greater damage to underlying muscles • Computer assistance may erase this difference
