Intraoperative hemorrhage in revision total hip arthroplasty: a retrospective single-center study

ConclusionAlthough this study was limited by its small population and a possibility of underestimating the hemorrhage, hemorrhages in reTHA patients was two times greater than that in pTHA patients. Younger age and lower BMI increased the risk of MBL in reTHA. Preparing autologous blood decreased the risk of intraoperative allogeneic transfusion.
