Perioperative outcome of primary total hip arthroplasty in octogenarians - A systematic review.

ABSTRACT: Osteoarthritis (OA), a degenerative disease, frequently necessitates the replacement of the affected joint, commonly involving the hip. With increasing life expectancy and the anticipated rise in OA incidence, the demand for Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is expected to surge, particularly among Octogenarians. The elderly are often perceived as a vulnerable patient group, with concerns about their eligibility for THA primarily based on age alone.

Aims

There is a prevailing presumption that Octogenarians face an elevated risk of perioperative mortality, increased complication rates, and prolonged hospital stays.This systematic review aimed to compare perioperative outcomes after THA in Octogenarians, with primary outcomes being mortality and length of stay in hospital.
