- Study assesses 30-year survivorship of modern total hip replacements using contemporary bearing surfaces.
- Meta-analysis includes 1,904,237 hip arthroplasties from 29 clinical studies and 8 national joint registries.
- Estimated survivorship is 93.6% at 20 years, 92.8% at 25 years, and 92.1% at 30 years.
- Advances in bearing surface technology have significantly improved long-term durability of hip replacements.
- Findings may influence patient counseling, healthcare planning, and device regulation.
