Experience in follow up of 1399 patients after 1603 hip joint arthroplasties is presented. Bilateral operations were performed in 102 patients. In 111 patients revision total hip replacement was performed. Age of patients ranged from 18 to 94 years. Different complications were present in 4,3% of cases: pyo-inflammatory - in 1,37%, implant head dislocation - 1,93%, periprosthetic fractures - 0,19%, postoperative neuritis - 0,49% and pulmonary thrombosis - in 0,31% of cases. Elderly and senile patients, severe concomitant pathology (diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis and other systemic diseases), acute proximal femur injury, earlier operated dysplastic coxarthrosis, revision and complicated total hip replacement, history of pyo-inflammatory processes in the zone of hip joint are to be considered as risk factors to complication development. Scale for complications prognosis in hip joint arthroplasty is presented.

Total hip replacement is a reconstructive procedure that has improved the management of those diseases of the hip joint that have responded poorly to conventional medical therapy. Conventional, primary total hip replacement is a durable operation in the majority of patients. A hip replacement is a mechanical device with parts that are assembled before and during the operation. But the possible complications of total hip arthroplasty, and its clinical performance over time, is a challenging occasion to the surgeons, and such a challenge we faced with our presenting patient. A 68 year old lady with history of cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty done in a tertiary care hospital, due to fracture neck of the left femur having the history of diabetes, chronic kidney disease, heart disease, anaemia, and mental disorders presented with loosened prosthesis, thinning of medial proximal cortex of the femur which had broken within few months after surgery. She complained of painful walking at left hip joint. There was also evidence of chronic infective and degenerative arthritis of acetabular component of the affected hip joint. Cemented revision total hip replacement surgery was performed with expert multidisciplinary involvement. On 2nd postoperative day the patient was allowed to walk on operated limb with the aid of walker. On 12th postoperative day all the stitches were removed and wound was found healthy.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Hip joint is a crucial joint in the body whose function is essential for normal daily activities. Osteoarthritis of the hip cripples the daily functional capacity and total hip arthroplasty is considered to relieve the pain and increase the quality of life among these patients. The objective of present study was to assess the clinical and functional outcome in total hip replacement patients in terms of early joint function and stability of the hip joint and also to assess complications of procedures.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> A three-year prospective study was conducted on 58 cases that fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Ethical approval and consent were obtained for the study. Standard clinical and laboratory evaluation was performed on all the cases and the data was noted in Microsoft excel sheet and analyzed. Modified Harris hip scoring was done pre operatively and postoperatively and follow-up was done at discharge, 4<sup>th</sup> week, 6 months and one year.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Surgery was performed on 58 cases with age range 34-73 years and a mean of 43.58 years. Avascular necrosis was the main indication (55.2%). Maximum patient follow-up was 38 weeks. The mean preoperative score was 41.04 with minimum score being 10 and maximum being 76, postoperative score was 99.63 with minimum 64 and maximum was 109. Statistical significance was observed between preoperative and postoperative scores with regard to the parameters of pain, gait, functional activity and range of motion. Anterior thigh pain was the common postoperative complaint (15.5%).</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> In conclusion, total hip replacement gives good clinical and functional outcomes. However, the outcomes are influenced by multiple factors which include indication for surgery, age of the cases, and type of prosthesis, operative technique and post-operative follow up.</p><p class="abstract"> </p>

Objective To compare the clinical outcomes of primary metal-on-metal total hip replacement (MoM-TR) converted to uncemented total hip replacement (UTR) or cemented total hip replacement (CTR) in patients with femoral neck fractures (AO/OTA: 31B/C). Methods Patient data of 234 UTR or CTR revisions after primary MoM-TR failure from March 2007 to January 2018 were retrospectively identified. Clinical outcomes, including the Harris hip score (HHS) and key orthopaedic complications, were collected at 3, 6, and 12 months following conversion and every 12 months thereafter. Results The mean follow-up was 84.12 (67–100) months for UTR and 84.23 (66–101) months for CTR. At the last follow-up, the HHS was better in the CTR- than UTR-treated patients. Noteworthy dissimilarities were correspondingly detected in the key orthopaedic complication rates (16.1% for CTR vs. 47.4% for UTR). Statistically significant differences in specific orthopaedic complications were also detected in the re-revision rate (10.3% for UTR vs. 2.5% for CTR), prosthesis loosening rate (16.3% for UTR vs. 5.9% for CTR), and periprosthetic fracture rate (12.0% for UTR vs. 4.2% for CTR). Conclusion In the setting of revision of failed primary MoM-TR, CTR may demonstrate advantages over UTR in improving functional outcomes and reducing key orthopaedic complications.
