Abstract
While vascular injuries during total hip replacements can be potentially life threatening, in most cases they pose at least a serious threat to the affected leg. Intraoperative injuries include open or concealed massive bleeding, which can lead to shock. Perioperative vascular thrombotic occlusions are easily overlooked because of their insidious nature. Postoperatively, pseudoaneurysms and arterioarterial emboli can result in an ischaemic syndrome in the affected leg. The most serious consequences for the affected leg are generally apparent by the end of the procedure at the latest. Since the aforementioned later occurring consequences are not acutely life-threatening, time is available for more precise diagnostic measures to be implemented.
