COMPLICATIONS IN REPLACEMENT ARTHROPLASTY OF THE HIP

Howard A. Mendelsohn M.D.1 and Seymour L. Alban M.D.1

1 Orthopaedic Service, Wadsworth General Hospital, Veterans Administration Center, Los Angeles

A total of fifty-three complications occurred in twenty-three patients. Different complications were encountered which produced varying degrees of disability. It is appropriate to quote from the conclusions drawn by Judet and Judet3 from their recent report of 400 patients: "Some fatalities and a proportion of bad or poor results make this operation one to be undertaken only by surgeons well trained in the surgery of the hip and only on patients who really need it". Although our study is not an end-result evaluation, we feel justified in recommending that surgeons have a critical awareness of the many hazards involved in this operation.
