Background: Young men with osteoarthritis of the hip are a growing segment of the population requiring arthroplasty, and there is compelling evidence that the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) system provides good functional outcomes and durability in young, active men.

Methods:We analyzed survivorship using the Kaplan-Meier method. Functional scoring was performed using the Harris Hip Score (HHS),
