Introduction[edit | edit source]
Complications of total hip arthroplasty are common and can occur at various time times following the initial surgery. They include:
- Aseptic loosening: considered to be the most common indication for revision surgery
- Infection of hip prostheses
- 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: eg metal-on-metal pseudotumour, metallosis.
- 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]
