Patients and Methods A prospective cohort study was conducted. patients were recruited into three age groups: less than 65 years (n = 65), 65 to 74 years (n = 68), and 75 years and older (n = 67). There were 200 patients enrolled in the study, of whom 115 were female and 85 were male, with a mean age of 69.9 years (sd 9.5, 42 to 92). They were assessed preoperatively, and at three, 12 and, 24 months postoperatively. stem migration was assessed using einzel-Bild-Röntgen-Analyse (eBRA). Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis Index (WoMAc), Harris Hip score (HHs), Hip Disability and osteoarthritis outcome score (Hoos), euroQol-5 domains questionnaire (eQ-5D), short form-36 questionnaire (sF-36,) and patient satisfaction were used to assess outcome. The Lower extremity Activity scale (LeAs), Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, and activpAL monitor (energy expelled, time lying/standing/walking and step count) were used to assess activity. The BMD was assessed in Gruen and charnley zones. Results Mean varus/valgus tilt was -0.770 and axial subsidence was -1.20 mm. no significant difference was observed between age groups (p 0.07). There was no difference according to age group for postoperative WoMAc (p 0.11), HHs (p 0.06), Hoos (p 0.46), eQ-5D (p 0.38), patient satisfaction (p 0.05), or activpAL (p 0.06). patients 75 years and older had a worse sF-36 physical function (p = 0.01) and physical role (p = 0.03), LeAs score (p < 0.001), a shorter TUG (p = 0.01), and a lower BMD in charnley zone 1 (p = 0.02). Conclusion exeter stem migration is within normal limits and is not influenced by age group. Functional outcome, patient satisfaction, activity level, and periprosthetic BMD are similar across all age groups.
