[Early complications and their causes in prosthetic hip joint replacement for coxarthrosis or median femoral neck fracture. Retrospective study of 3613 implanted hip joints].
In this retrospective descriptive study--including 3613 patients--type, frequency, and causes of early postoperative complications after total hip replacement are analysed. Operations were indicated in the majority of all cases by degenerative hip-joint diseases (n = 3214) and 399 cases by medial collum femoris fracture from adduction type (Garden III and IV). The frequency of early postoperative complications in total amount to 14.3%, the postoperative mortality was 2.3%. Total hip replacement in medial collum femoris fracture showed a significantly higher frequency of postoperative complications (4 times) and mortality (17 times). Complications in detail (cardiac, pulmonic, thromboembolic, early luxation, wound infection etc.) are represented and discussed in literature.
