As these are strong arguments for TAR from an active patient’s perspective, it appears obvious that young patients show great interest in it. In the late 90s, 2nd generation implants showed a high revision rate, which has led to great cautiousness for TAR in young and active patients. Despite recently published data on 3rd generation implants showed a comparable outcome within different age groups, the question to debate remains whether TAR is advised in younger patients.The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcome and revision rate after TAR in patients younger and older than 50 years.Methods:A consecutive series of 813 primary TARs (3rd generation HINTEGRA, 446 male, 367 female), performed between May 2003 and December 2013, were enrolled. 129 patients (16%) were younger than ...
