Abstract: Background: Over the past two decades, developing countries like India have seen a rapid increase in joint replacement surgeries, which is akin to the international trend [3]. With an increasing primary hip joint replacement surgeries, there has been a perceptible rise in the number of revision hip joint replacement surgeries throughout the world [3]. Modern implant design and improved surgical techniques should result in improved long-term survival of adult joint reconstructions. Due to increase in number of primary THA in young active population, coupled with increasing life span of older population has maintained a significant revision burden [3].
Material and Methods: This retrospective study was carried out in 30 patients of both sex and different age groups with variable indications of RHA, operated at tertiary care hospital in new civil hospital Surat. This study will employ longitudinal study designs and drawing of two data sets collected in two phases. Phase 1 - Approximately 30 desk review of medical records of patients from NCH-SURAT who went for RHA from May 2018 to November 2019 to determine reasons for RHA and to document functional outcome of RHA. Phase 2-30 patients who went for Revision hip arthroplasty from May 2018 to November 2019 will be traced from medical records of NCH SURAT within time period of 6 months from January 2020 to till June 2020. Post-operative Harris Hip Score will be measured to document functional outcome of RHR
Results: Results There were 30 patients in the study, of whom were 24 men and 6 women. The mean age of the study group was 59 years (range: 24-89 years). HHS taken on 3, 6, 9 month. total score of 70 or less than 70 is considered a poor 70 to 80 is considered fair, 80 to 90 is Good 90 to 100 is an excellent result, 23% -Excellent 63% good 7% fair 7% poor.
Conclusion: In our study, Aseptic loosening remain the main cause for failure of primary hip arthroplasty, Instability and dislocation remains a significant issue after both primary and revision hip arthroplasty. The operative results were eminently satisfactory in 88.33% of patients good results shown in our study reinforce the excellent outcomes reported in the literature of revision hip arthroplasty.
