Primary total hip replacement in patients over 80 years of age.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have reviewed 107 patients of 80 years or over who underwent primary total hip replacement. They had many more complications than younger patients. Thus, acute dislocation occurred in 15%, and became chronic in 9%; there were femoral shaft fractures in 4.6% and these, with shaft perforation gave universally poor results. Nevertheless, 75% of patients had a satisfactory outcome, with worthwhile relief of pain. It would seem sensible to warn elderly patients and their relatives of the increased risks in this age group.
