Algunos riesgos de esta cirugía son:

  • Reacción alérgica a la articulación artificial
  • Dislocación de la articulación artificial
  • Crecimiento de hueso adicional que puede causar rigidez
  • Infección que requiere extirpar la articulación
  • Lesión a nervios o vasos sanguíneos
  • Aflojamiento de la articulación artificial con el tiempo
  • Confusión mental (demencia): muchas personas que se fracturan la cadera también tienen otros problemas para pensar claramente. Algunas veces, una fractura y una cirugía pueden empeorar esto.
  • Neumonía
  • Escaras de decúbito (también llamadas llagas o úlceras de decúbito) por estar en una cama o en una silla por períodos de tiempo largos.

Las personas que tienen una prótesis, como una articulación artificial, necesitan protegerse cuidadosamente de una infección. Usted debe portar una tarjeta de identificación médica en su cartera que diga que tiene una prótesis. Asimismo, posiblemente necesite tomar antibióticos antes de cualquier trabajo dental o procedimiento médicos invasivo.
