Dislocation & Instability

Despite advances in implant design, surgical technique, and perioperative protocols, instability continues to challenge both surgeons and patients.Hip dislocation remains one of the most feared complications following total hip arthroplasty (THA), associated with higher morbidity, increased healthcare costs, and up to 25% of all revision procedures.

Periprosthetic Hip Fractures

Vancouver B2 fractures—those with a loose stem but adequate bone stock—remain the most debated subtype in terms of optimal management, with recent meta-analyses redefining treatment algorithms.Periprosthetic femoral fractures (PPF) represent one of the most challenging complications after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Their incidence is rising sharply worldwide, driven by increasing THA volumes, aging populations, and poor bone health, particularly osteoporosis.

Revision Hip Arthroplasty

Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty (rTHA) addresses failure or complications of primary hip arthroplasty, including aseptic loosening, periprosthetic fracture, infection, and instability. As primary THA volumes increase globally, rTHA has become more common. Outcomes depend on etiology, implant selection, and restoration of biomechanics rather than mere component replacements.
