- Abstract
Primary total hip arthroplasty is a surgery during which an orthopedic specialist removes damaged parts of hip and replaces them with parts usually built from metal, ceramics and very hard plastic. Modern technology, materials of good quality and an advanced operative technique enable quick postoperative recovery and total disappearance of pain that was present before the operation. Despite all preoperative and postoperative measures applied, some complications may occur, these include: infections, luxations, periprosthetic fractures, implant allergy, psoas impingement, deep vein thrombosis, neurological complications, allergy to metal implants as well as fatal outcome.
