Background: Total hip replacement surgery can be defined as the most performed and successful surgeries in recent times. The use of computed tomography technology has greatly improved the accuracy of determining the condition of the hip joint. Objective: This study was aimed to determine and assess the complications and CT scan outcomes related to patients with total hip replacement surgery. Patients and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted which occurred in different hospitals in Iraq, recruiting 106 patients who had undergone total hip replacement surgery through February 8th, 2022, and August 16th, 2023. Clinical data were collected into patients who diagnosed under CT imaging where it was determined the status of the hip joint. The clinical and demographic characteristics were determined into male and female patients aged between 20 and over 50. Postoperative complications were diagnosed using CT scans.
Additionally, this study was assessed the pain levels of patients through ten days after total hip surgery by (NRS) scale, which ranged between (0 – 10) where 0 can indicate no pain while 10 can indicate severe pain. Results: clinical results can indicate that most of the patients (41) with total hip replacement surgery were over 50 years old. The number of male patients was higher than that of female patients, with 70 and 36 patients, respectively. Osteoporosis was present in 34 patients, while fractures or dislocations of the hip joint were observed in 28 patients. In this study, 51.89% of participants were smokers. The most common symptoms reported were stiffness (27 cases), pain (20 cases), and limping (24 cases). The most prevalent concomitant diseases were hypertension (42 patients) and diabetes (32 patients). The study found that the most common complications after surgery, as recorded by a CT scan, were infections (5 cases), blood clots (3 cases), and bleeding (3 cases), with a mortality rate of only 4 cases. Pain scores of patients were assessed within ten days after surgery, and the success of the surgery technique in controlling patients was examined. The study concluded that the NRS scale reached a score of 1 in the last few days. Conclusions: This study demonstrates the effectiveness of total hip replacement surgery in improving patients' quality of life, as determined by their ability to move with better performance, lower pain levels, and fewer complications associated with the surgery, as shown by CT scans.
