    This study reviewed 512 hip replacements, finding 16% experienced significant postoperative complications. Cardiac, renal, and thromboembolic issues were most common, with mortality at 0.4%.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopaedic Surgery
    • Surgical Complications
    • Patient Outcomes

    Context:

    • Review of 512 total hip replacements performed between 1982-1987 at Viborg Hospital.
    • Focus on immediate postoperative complications following hip arthroplasty.

    Purpose:

    • To illustrate and analyze the immediate postoperative complications associated with total hip replacement.
    • Identify the incidence and types of significant complications.

    Summary:

    • 16% of patients experienced significant postoperative complications, with a mortality rate of 0.4%.
    • Leading complications included cardiac (3.3%), renal (2.5%), and thromboembolic events (3.5% - pulmonary embolism 1.8%, deep venous thrombosis 2.9%).
    • Risk factors identified were advanced age, pre-existing cardiovascular conditions, obesity, prolonged anesthesia duration, and episodes of hypotension.
