Abstract.

We studied the perioperative blood loss in 100 total hip arthroplasties performed for rapidly destructive coxarthrosis and compared it with the blood loss in 100 total hip arthroplasties for regular coxarthrosis. The treatment protocol was identical in both groups. Total blood loss was calculated as the compensated blood loss (volume transfused during and immediately after surgery) and the non-compensated blood loss using Nadler and Mercuriali formula. The mean blood loss calculated in milliliters of red blood cells (100% haematocrit) was 578 ml in regular coxarthrosis and 945 ml in rapidly destructive coxarthrosis. The blood loss after total hip arthroplasty is greater when surgery is performed for rapidly destructive coxarthrosis than for regular coxarthrosis (P<0.001).

Résumé.

Nous avons étudié la perte sanguine dans 100 arthroplasties totales de hanche exécutées pour coxarthrose destructrice rapide et l'avons comparé avec la perte sanguine dans 100 arthroplasties pour coxarthrose habituelle. Le protocole du traitement était identique dans les deux groupes. La perte sanguine totale a été calculée comme la perte sanguine compensée (le volume à transfuser pendant et immédiatement après chirurgie) et la perte sanguine non – compensée en utilisant la formule de Nadler et Mercuriali. La perte moyenne, calculé en ml de cellules de sang rouge (100% d'hématocrite) était de 578 ml dans la coxarthrose habituelle et de 945 ml dans la coxarthrose destructrice rapide. La perte sanguine après arthroplastie de hanche est plus importante quand la chirurgie est exécutée pour coxarthrose destructrice rapide que pour coxarthrose habituelle (P<0.001).
