Systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis of the long-term likelihood of contralateral total hip arthroplasty
Nearly every fourth THA patient will require cTHA within 10 years. The likelihood of cTHA in this review appears to fall within the lower third of previously published ranges. However, most cTHA are required within the first years. Our findings suggest that the likelihood of requiring cTHA within the initial 10 years is approximately twice as high as the likelihood of requiring revision of the iTHA.
