Hip pathologies have been on a steep rise for the past century as the general population is engaged in more physical and strenuous work. With the prolongation of life span comes attached degenerative pathologies and these are more evident in lower limb joints as they provide mobility in a bipedal human. With evolution of orthopaedic surgeries and implants the question arises as to what is better for the patient which is more durable functionally and has a better long term survival. In this prospective study we have analysed 15 patients between the age group of 45–70 years with mean age of 58.14 years. Patients were selected to the study who complained of chronic hip pain and diagnosed with hip pathology radiologically. THR was performed on these patients with standard posterio–lateral and lateral approach depending on the surgeons comfort. Uncemented implants were used in all the patients and the study showed excellent outcome in 86.66% when analysed by modified Harris Hip Score on a 6 month follow–up. This study was conducted to evaluate the functional outcome of uncemented THR in 45–70 year old patients.
