Abstract
The number of major joint endoprosthetics is growing every year. Hip replacement is the most performed of all. A lot of practical experience has been accumulated in this area and there is a constant improvement of operational equipment, new implants and other materials are being developed, as well as the qualifications of operating surgeons are growing. However, despite this, the number of complications after hip replacement surgery remains high. This is largely due to the uncompensated comorbidity among patients, especially in the elderly and senile age. The aim of our research was to study the effect of the comorbidity presence among patients on the nature and frequency of postsurgical complications during hip replacement surgeries. We analyzed the results of hip replacement using the IRENE Diamond implant among 405 patients for the period from January 2020 to April 2021. As a result of the study, it was found that the greatest number of purulent-septic complications were in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The presence of other comorbidities in patients equally affected the number and nature of postsurgical complications.
