The yongest I know of are the two 14 year olds on my age chart  http://www.surfacehippy.info/agesurvey.php (http://www.surfacehippy.info/agesurvey.php)  I am talking with the Mother of a 12 year old that needs hips now. I am not sure what route she will be taking.  It if difficult to give hips to such young children.  You don't know how many revisions they will require in their lifetime and when they can't be reivised any more they will end up in a wheel chair.
