Contraindications of hip replacement surgery
Contraindications of hip arthroplasty aren’t much and include:
- Untreated underlying disease that caused hip joint destruction and deformity.
- Ongoing active infection whether it affects the hip joint or not because the injury of blood vessels during surgery may increase the risk of spreading the infection.
- A progressive neurological disorder that may affect the ability of the patient to use his hip joint.
- Terminal malignancies are believed to be better treated with potent analgesics other than surgeries.
