Abstract

Total hip replacement (THR) is a successful surgery with high patient satisfaction rate. However, it fails in due course of time due to various reasons like Aseptic loosening, dislocation, infection, osteolysis, polyethylene wear, periprosthetic fracture, implant breakage, metal reaction, etc. Aseptic loosening is the most common cause of THR failure globally. This section deals in detail with the mechanism of aseptic failure, diagnosis, management, and prevention of aseptic loosening.
