Introduction[edit | edit source]

Complications of total hip arthroplasty are common and can occur at various time times following the initial surgery:

Aseptic loosening: considered to be the most common indication for revision surgery

Infection of hip prostheses 5,6

Particle disease / histiocytic reaction / aggressive granulomatosis

Fracture: periprosthetic fracture; cement fracture; stem fracture

Dislocation (~5% of all replacements): dislocation of femoral head out of the cup: component dissociation: dislocation of the entire acetabular cup; dislocation of stem

Heterotopic bone formation

Reaction to metal: metal-on-metal pseudotumour; aseptic lymphocyte-dominant vasculitis-associated lesion; metallosis.

Pseudobursae formation.

Abductor muscle/tendon dysfunction e.g. tears

Stress shielding

Trochanteric bursitis

Revision total hip arthroplasty

General post-orthopaedic surgical complications eg haemorrhage, wound complications, deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, vascular injury, neurological deficit, death.[1]
