title: Intraoperative complications during total hip arthroplasty.
abstract: Total hip replacement is one of the most common adult reconstructive procedures performed today. Even though training in total hip replacement has become fairly common in many orthopedic residency programs, complications can still occur during surgery. Preoperative planning and close attention to detail may prevent intraoperative problems. Awareness of the potential downfalls allows the surgeon to properly prepare for surgery, avoid intraoperative complications, and manage unavoidable problems when they do arise.
