Abstract
Joint arthroplasty is the most frequently performed orthopedic procedure after fracture fixation.
The main indication for total hip arthroplasty is disabling pain secondary to severe osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthropathy, avascular necrosis, ankylosis secondary to prior infection or surgery, benign and malignant tumors around the hip joint and hip fractures.
Local complications associated with a hip prosthesis include: aseptic loosening, infection, heterotopic bone formation, prosthetic and periprosthetic fractures, dislocation and subluxation, pseudobursitis and abductor muscle avulsion.
Such complications are common sources of patient morbidity and often necessitate revision arthroplastic surgery. Recognizing and diagnosing these complications are often challenging because the presentation and findings are often nonspecific and frequently subtle. Imaging remains the cornerstone of evaluation.
