Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty in a Centenarian: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Monique A. Grey; Kristaps J. KeggiHip
The clinical success of primary total hip arthroplasty in elderly patients is well established. Because of the rapid growth rate of the population aged 85 years and older and the increasing life expectancy of this group of patients, the number of patients in their 8th, 9th, and even 10th decades of life requiring revision total hip arthroplasty will increase. We present the only documented case of revision total hip arthroplasty in a centenarian and a review of the relevant literature.
