Abstract

OA is the leading cause of hip and knee pathology in the geriatric population. Hip and knee arthroplasty are the definitive interventions to alleviate pain and restore physical functioning. Complications related to these procedures occur: the most common of these are infection, thromboembolism, dislocations, and periprosthetic fractures. New improvements related to minimally invasive and computer-assisted navigation surgery techniques are promising and already show excellent outcomes in patients exposed to joint arthroplasty.
