CANALE, Delfina L et al. Most prevalent etiologies of failed hip arthroplasties in subjects admitted to the trauma ward of an acute care hospital in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. A descriptive study. Argentinian j. respiratory physical therapy [online]. 2022, vol.4, n.1, pp.40-45. Epub 23-Fev-2022. ISSN 2618-4095. http://dx.doi.org/10.58172/ajrpt.v4i1.192.
Objective:
To describe the most frequent etiology in subjects who required surgery due to failure of hip arthroplasty in the orthopaedics and traumatology ward of Hospital General de Agudos Dr. Juan A. Fernández (HGAJAF) between July 2018 and November 2019.
Materials and Method:
A descriptive, observational, retrospective, and cross-sectional study. It was based on a database created by the HGAJAF physiotherapy service. A non-probability and consecutive sampling method was performed. We included over 18-year-old subjects who were hospitalized in the HGAJAF trauma ward between July 2018 and November 2019 and were diagnosed with a total hip arthroplasty, and who underwent surgery due to replacement failure in this hospital or elsewhere. Subjects with incomplete medical records due to lack or loss of demographic data and subjects who underwent resection surgery were excluded.
Results:
A total of 48 subjects were recruited. The most prevalent cause of failure was septic loosening n=20 (41.67%), followed by aseptic loosening n=16 (33.3%).
Conclusion:
The most frequent reason for failure in this sample of subjects with failed arthroplasty was septic loosening.
