Abstract Objective To evaluate clinical outcome of cementless ceramic on ceramic primary total hip arthroplasty in young patients of Avascular necrosis of Femoral head. Methods A total of 30 hips undergoing cementless ceramic on ceramic primary total hip arthroplasty using S-ROM femoral stem were prospectively and retrospectively evaluated. Results Pre-operatively the mean HHS was 32.73 which increased to a mean of 87.8 post-operatively. The difference was statistically significant (p value Conclusion Based on our study, we recommend ceramic on ceramic THR for younger patients in the age group of less than 50 years of age.
