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]
