Common hip conditions requiring primary total hip arthroplasty and comparison of their post-operative functional outcomes

ConclusionIn our part of the world, non traumatic AVN hip is the commonest indication for primary hip arthroplasties, followed by traumatic sequelae. The frequency of males undergoing hip arthroplasty is much more than females and at a younger age as compared to the West. Additionally the functional outcomes in cases of inflammatory arthritis are inferior as compared to the other indications, probably because of associated contractures, deformity and spinal issues.
