Intra-operative problems (during operation)

It may in rare cases, injuries to neighboring structures (vessels, nerves) which are an extension of the intervention necessary.
Depending on the soft tissue tension of the muscles surrounding the joint, the joint leadership vary. With the setting using different lengths header leg length differences can arise and may not be excluded. An appropriate balance on the shoes will be necessary.
In pre-bone defects (mainly in exchange operations) must be supplied by any third körpereigenem or bone from the bone bank to be filled
Detonation of the femur shaft, especially in cement-free anchoring

mini-stretcher

Postoperative complications (after surgery)

Bruising: Should this occur, they are absorbed by the body after a few days removed, a surgical removal is rarely necessary.
Infections: There are superficial infections under the skin and subcutaneous fat, and deep infections, which include prosthesis itself. Depending on the findings can be a consequence of surgery with cleaning and rinsing may be necessary. Occasionally, a prosthesis with a further expansion of prosthetic fitting to later be required. For this reason, before and immediately after the operation, an antibiotic administered.

We operate at maximum security for them to reach with multiple protection

under a Laminar Air Flow (special operation equipment of the space with improved sterility conditions)
The surgeon uses a sterile continue helmet system, which during the operation the patient to protect against pollution
during the operation, special film on the skin stuck to the patient, a spreading of bacteria in the surgical field to minimize
there are tissue-sparing techniques

Further complication opportunities
The thrombosis is the formation of blood clots in a vein, with a corresponding disruption of the blood return from the leg. If such blood clots from his place of origin in the lung is removed, this is called a pulmonary embolism. To avoid this, before and after the operation up to full mobilization to the blood thinning medication administered
Dislocations: In the first few weeks until a new stable capsule around the artificial joint has been formed, it can occasionally on specific movements or falls to dislocate the Hüftkopfes come out of the pan. Normally it is - maybe in a short general anesthesia - the joint einzurenken again.
Periarticular calcifications (Heterotopic ossification) - there are calcifications of different sizes in the surrounding soft tissues of the artificial hip joint. At risk patients can be a preventive, unique irradiation immediately after the surgery, or a drug therapy in this good results.
Loosening of the artificial joint, which is a so-called septic, infection-related aseptic loosening of a difference. Experience shows that with a smooth functioning of the hip for 10 years in over 95% and approximately 85% over 15 years expected.
