Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The application of hip joint arthroplasty in hip joint degenerative diseases improves joint pain. The lower elastic modulus of titanium alloy prostheses in hip prostheses than stainless steel elastic modulus ensures higher bone "bone ingrowing" in titanium alloy prostheses. However, malaligment applications during surgery shorten the life of the prosthesis. The aim of this study is to investigate post-operative alignment and to examine perioperative complications in patients undergoing total hip prosthesis. METHODS: In this study, 122 patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty for degenerative hip joint disease and elderly collum femoris fractures between 2013-2017 were evaluated. Perioperative complications in total hip prostheses and early complications of prosthesis alignment in retrospective early follow-up. RESULTS: 78 of these patients were female, 44 of them were male, the mean age was 66 years (42-87), the mean follow-up period was 27 months (6-48). Intraoperatively, femoral calcar fractures developed in 2 patients while 1.5% femoral component was placed. Malaligment was placed at an average of 6 degrees (3-9 degrees) in 9% valgus position in 11 patients. Intraoperative blood loss was observed on average 855 ml (460-1250 ml) DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The results of the implants produced in our country show similar clinical and radiological results with the results stated in the literature. It is considered to be advantageous in terms of both the contribution to the country's economy and the contribution to the patient's health and being easily available.
