Contemporary mortality rate and outcomes in nonagenarians undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty

Journal of Arthroplasty Oct 29, 2020

Dagneaux L, Amundson AW, Larson DR, et al. - This research was sought to ascertain the mortality rate, implant survivorship, clinical outcomes, and complications of primary total hip arthroplasties (THAs) in nonagenarians. Researchers applied an institutional total joint registry to distinguish 144 nonagenarians who had undergone 149 primary THAs for osteoarthritis only between 1997 and 2017. This study’s findings demonstrate that nonagenarians undergoing primary THA had substantial mortality rates at 90 days (6%) and 1 year (8%). The high complication rate is mostly due to periprosthetic fractures, while the cumulative incidence of any revision and reoperations were low at 5 years.
