Eligible studies included patients with mean age &lt;55\u2009years and \u2a7e4.5\u2009years mean follow-up. Primary outcome was Harris Hip Score (HHS) or modified Harris Hip score (mHHS); secondary outcomes were complications, survivorship, and radiological findings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>32 studies involving 4082 hips (mean age 46.7\u2009years, mean follow-up 8.6\u2009years) were included. Mean HHS improved from 45.3 to 93.8. Complications were infrequent, including intraoperative fracture (1.6%), dislocation (0.6%), and infection (0.4%). Radiological changes, including osteolysis (1.3%), heterotopic ossification (1.9%), and stem subsidence \u2a7e2\u2009mm (0.7%), were uncommon. Stem survivorship free from aseptic loosening was 99.7%. The overall revision rate was 1.6%. Subgroup analyses indicated better outcomes and lower revision rates with posterolateral approaches and ceramic-on-ceramic bearings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Short-stem total hip arthroplasty in patients younger than 55 years appears to be associated with excellent mid- to long-term functional outcomes, low complication rates, and high implant survivorship. While these findings suggest that short stems are a safe and durable option for young, active patients, substantial heterogeneity across studies and the limited randomised evidence warrant cautious interpretation. These findings are hypothesis-generating and warrant confirmation in adequately powered prospective studies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>PROSPERO registration:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>No: CRD420251046310<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/11207000261449733","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,22]],"date-time":"2026-06-22T05:28:45Z","timestamp":1782106125000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Mid- to long-term outcomes of short stem total hip arthroplasty in patients younger than 55 years: a systematic review and meta-analysis"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6745-626X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohamed","family":"Elbanna","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Epsom and St Helier Hospitals, Epsom, Surrey, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vikramman","family":"Vignaraja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guy\u2019s and St. Thomas\u2019 Hospitals NHS Trust, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jonathon","family":"Kyriakides","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"King\u2019s College London NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stamatios","family":"Tsamados","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guy\u2019s and St. Thomas\u2019 Hospitals NHS Trust, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas L","family":"Lewis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopaedics and Arthritis Specialist Centre, Sydney, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohit","family":"Bansal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"King\u2019s College London NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zameer","family":"Shah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guy\u2019s and St. Thomas\u2019 Hospitals NHS Trust, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/2058-5241.3.170052"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00264-023-06020-4"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otsr.2020.05.004"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2018-021649"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.21037\/atm-20-4043"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13018-020-02027-4"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/CORR.0000000000001505"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MD.0000000000005215"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10195-008-0105-4"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_11_2","first-page":"353","volume-title":"Orthopade","author":"Gulow J","year":"2007","unstructured":"Gulow J, Scholz R, Freiherr von Salis-Soglio G.
