Principales poblemas de una protesis de cadera

http://www.clinicacemtro.com/index.ph... Dr. Raúl Torres, Head of the Hip Unit, Traumatology Service at Clínica CEMTRO, explains in this video blog the main problems associated with hip replacement. Hip replacement surgery has advanced significantly, and today, complications may not reach 3% of the total. These complications are: 1. Risk of infection during surgery or postoperatively. A germ that enters and circulates in the bloodstream and reproduces between the prosthesis and the bone. This causes inflammation, pain, and necessitates the replacement of the prosthesis. This is generally known as rejection; "there is no rejection in hip replacements," but rather an infection. 2. Presence of blood clots. During surgery, the veins clot, causing a blockage in venous return, causing the leg to remain swollen for 3 weeks to a month. 3. Dislocation of the prosthesis. Prolapse of the socket. This is related to the surgical technique: "When a surgeon places more than 20 hip prostheses per year, the risk of dislocation decreases." It is also related to the patient. 4. More than a complication, it is a side effect: Dimetria. One leg may be slightly shorter or longer than the other. Generally, it is longer; to avoid dislocation, the leg is slightly lengthened.
