Uncemented total hip replacement can last for 15 to 20 years. Watch this operation performed by Dr.A.K.Venkatachalam of the Madras Joint Replacement Center. An un-cemented or cementless hip replacement is implanted for a young patient. Young patients with secondary hip arthritis need a hip replacement. The main causes leading to hip arthritis in young are post traumatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and avascular necrosis.
