Hip arthroplasty is a reliable means in the treatment of hip conditions. By restoring its mobility, stability and indolence. However, this prosthetic surgery exposes to the risk of the occurrence of complications that can affect the functional prognosis. The most common complications are dislocations, fractures, loosening, and infections. These complications may require surgical revision of the total hip prosthesis (THA). We present three cases of patients who required revision THA, and we present the therapeutic recommendations for each of the complications in the literature, to ensure adequate management, and the recovery of a painless, mobile and functional hip.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
