The total hip arthroplasty in the elderly with coxarthrosis

Abstract

From 2001 to 2015 yrs 179 patients with hip joint pathology aged 65 years and older were treated in the Scientific Clinical Center of Gerontology, in the departments of orthopedics and traumatology of Moscow clinical hospitals № 12 and 31. Clinical data show that total hip arthroplasty can be successfully used in the treatment of degenerative and dystrophic diseases of the hip in the elderly. Objective assessments of somatic status, correction of comorbidities, preoperative planning, precise surgery technique, as well as early activation of the patient minimize the risks of surgery. The results of this treatment in a period of 6 months up to 3 years were excellent in 58.6% of cases, good - in 34.6%, satisfactory - in 3.9%, unsatisfactory - in 2.9%.
