| Abstract: | The management of young patients with severe hip arthritis is very difficult, as treatment options, such as total hip arthroplasty, which is excellent for relieving pain while preserving function, are often avoided because of a high requirement for subsequent revision surgeries. Hip arthrodesis, although perceived as having inferior functional outcomes in these young individuals, offers a treatment option that relieves pain, maintains function, and allows for conversion to a total hip arthroplasty in future, if desired. This article reviews the indications and technique of hip fusion. |
