Common Post Lower Limb Arthroplasty Complications, Management Approaches and How to Minimize the Risks

Year 2020, Volume: 5 Issue: 2, 383 - 393, 30.06.2020

Abstract

Both knee and hip replacements are very successful operations of orthopaedic surgery. They have excellent outcome with long survivorship. Despite the success rate of both joint replacements and with increasing numbers, general complications and some serious complications have also been in-creasing. We reviewed the common complications of lower limb arthroplasty in the literature includ-ing infection, dislocation, periprosthetic fractures, aseptic loosening and venous thromboembolism. Sometimes, those can cause devastating problems and require careful treatments.

To minimise these complications, the requirements are skilled and experienced orthopaedic surgeons and teams in specialised units with appropriate environment and proven implants.

Alt Ekstrimitenin Artroplastileri Sonrası Sık Gözüken Komplikasyonlar, Tedavi Yaklaşımları ve Bunları Nasıl Minimize Ederiz

Abstract

Hem diz ve hem de kalça artroplastileri, ortopedinin oldukta başarılı ameliyatlarıdır. Mükemmel ve uzun yaşam sonuçları vardır. Artan ameliyat sayılarına ve başarı oranlarına rağmen, genel ve ciddi komplikasyonları da artış göstermektedir. Literatürden yaptığımız derlemede, kalça ve diz artro-plastilerinin yaygın komplikasyonları olan enfeksiyon, dislokasyon, periprostatik kırıklar, septik gevşeme ve ven tromboembolisini taradık. Bu komplikasyonlar çok dramatik problemlere neden olabilmekte ve dikkatli tedavi gerekmektedir.

Bu komplikasyonları minimuma indirgemek icin gerekenler, kendini geliştirmiş tecrübeli ortopedik cerrahlar ve konusunda özelleşmiş, uygun çevresel ortama sahip bir takım ve uygunluğu ispatlanmış protezlerin kullanılmasıdır.
