Short-Term Complications of Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty of the Acetabular, Femoral, or Both Components: A National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Database Study

The overall rate of AAE for rTHA in the 30-day postoperative period was 29.8%. Compared to revising both components, revising the femoral component had higher rates of AAE, death, and transfusion while revising the acetabular component had lower rates of AAE, sepsis, pulmonary embolism, transfusion, and deep vein thrombosis. Identification of these complication rates after rTHA, along with patient risk factors for adverse events can help surgeons be aware of certain complications when specific components need to be revised.
