Abstract
Hip replacement and internal fixation are major surgeries commonly performed in the hip region. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most successful and cost-effective surgical procedures. The main indications are osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, femur neck fracture, and inflammatory arthritis. The incidence of THA has increased dramatically over the past 20 years, despite a variety of early and late complications. Accordingly, the increase of revision arthroplasty has followed. It is still challenging to identify the cause of pain and failure in THA despite the advances in radiologic and nuclear imaging techniques. Internal fixation is widely used in treatment of hip fractures. Hip fractures are a common injury, and femur neck fractures are associated with high levels of patient morbidity and mortality after surgery. In this chapter, we present a brief review of cases to assess the cause of pain and complications after hip surgery rather than dealing with primary hip diseases.
