Abstract

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the surgical replacement of the anatomic components of the hip joint for a prosthesis. Survival rates of 95% (10 years) and 80% (more than 25 years) may be achieved. THA also provides significant benefits regarding pain, motion and function.
Objective: To describe the incidence of early postoperative complications in patients who underwent THA at the San José and Infantil Universitario de San José hospitals in Bogotá between January 2012 and June 2016.
Methodology: A descriptive retrospective study including patients aged 18 years or older who had THA. Those living abroad or having no contact information were excluded. Independent data analysis was conducted for each hip in bilateral THA.
Results: A total of 326 patients with 356 hips undergoing THA were analyzed. Median age was 64 (IQR 53-73), 67.79% were males, and 54.21% THA were performed on the right hip. Fifteen complications were identified, 14/356 (3.93%) had at least one complication. The most common complications were thromboembolic events (1.69%) followed by neurologic lesions (0.84%). No fractures were observed.
Conclusions: A low complication incidence after primary arthroplasty was evidenced. Complications were more frequent among those older than 65 years.
