<br/><br/> The management of young adults with severe osteoarthritis of the hip remains a problem because of the increased failure rates of total hip arthroplasty (THA ) as well as the prospect of multiple revisions in this population . Although hip arthodesis is not perceived favorable as an alternative by most orthopaedic surgeons or patients because of the presumption of less than optimal functional outcomes it is a viable technique especially for younger patients with a recent history of local infection and\or trauma
