    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Total hip replacement (THR) is a common procedure for hip arthritis.
    • Despite high success rates, complications can arise, impacting patient mobility and recovery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To comprehensively review the common complications following total hip replacement.
    • To discuss the etiology, preventative strategies, and therapeutic interventions for these adverse events.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of common total hip replacement complications.
    • Analysis of causes, prevention, and treatment for each complication.

    Main Results:

    • Common complications include infection, loosening, dislocation, and thromboembolism.
    • Other issues involve neurovascular deficits, component malposition, and leg length discrepancy.

    Conclusions:

    • Understanding and managing THR complications is crucial for successful surgical outcomes.
    • Proactive prevention and timely treatment can mitigate risks and improve patient prognosis.
