Abstract

Introduction: Hip and knee arthroplasty are often accompanied by intraoperative and postoperative complications, and deaths after hip and knee arthroplasty are not uncommon.

Purpose. To analyze publications on the incidence and causes of death at different times after hip and knee replacement for osteoarthritis.

Materials and Methods: Literature data were searched in the PubMed and eLIBRARY open electronic scientific literature databases. The search was carried out by keywords and phrases: knee osteoarthritis; hip osteoarthritis; knee replacement, hip replacement, mortality. The search depth was 20 years.

Results: Most authors studying the incidence and causes of death after large joint arthroplasty use the following time-based periods: intraoperative mortality, death rates in the early postoperative period; 30 and 90 days after surgery, and 1, 5 and 10 years after joint replacement. Mortality rates, according to different researchers, range from 0.1-0.6% in the early postoperative period, reaching 25-26% 10 years after hip and knee arthroplasty.

Conclusion: Studying the frequency and structure of deaths at different times after hip and knee arthroplasty performed in connection with osteoarthritis will clarify the indications and contraindications for arthroplasty and develop a set of measures aimed at reducing mortality at different times after replacing large joints with implants.

 Keywords: hip joint osteoarthritis; knee joint osteoarthritis; knee arthroplasty, hip arthroplasty, mortality
