Abstract

Background: Today, total hip replacement (total hip arthroplasty, THA) is one of the most successful surgical procedures in the field of orthopaedic and trauma surgery. Besides relieving pain, restoration of the hip joint biomechanics with appropriate femoral offset, and leg length is an important goal of THA and facilitates normal gait and function. THA is effective for decreasing pain and improving the function of patients. But like any other surgery. Total Hip Arthroplasty is also associated with few complications. The purpose of our study is to present the common complications associated with total hip arthroplasty. Material and Methods: This longitudinal study was conducted from January 2018 to Jan 2020 in which we have performed a total of 84 total hip replacements (THR) in 64 patients at Sri Aurobindo Institute of Medical Science, Indore. (Table 1) Patient’s age was in the range of 23 to 65 years. Median age of patient was 35 years. (Table 2) Results: Complications were diagnosed in 25 (29.7%) patients. Postoperative complications such as aseptic loosening of the prosthetic components in 1 patient (1.1%), superficial or deep Hematogenous infections in 2 patient (2.3%), prosthetic dislocations in 4 patient (4.6%) and limb length discrepancy in 16 patients (19%) and radicular pain in lower limb in 2 patients (2.3%) were predominant. Conclusion: Complications and adverse events are associated with all medical and surgical treatments. By identifying and defining complications and adverse events associated with THA we can reduce the intra operative and post operative complications of total hip arthroplasty.
