Abstract
Background: Total Knee and Total Hip Arthroplasty are two frequent surgeries that reduce joint pain and improve the function and the quality of life amongst patients with knee and hip problems. In recent years, various studies have performed to determine the incidence and prevalence of knee and hip arthroplasty. The aim of the present study is to determine the prevalence of hip joint replacement amongst subjects reporting to the institute. Materials and Methods: The present prospective observational study was conducted in the SMS Medical College and Hospital, Jaipur during a period of February 2017 to October 2017. The body mass index of subjects was noted in Kg/m2. A single operator performed all the surgeries. The mean time for surgery was also noted in all cases. A complete pre-anesthetic checkup of all the subjects was done before the initiation. All the data was arranged in a tabulated form and analyzed using SPSS software. The data was expressed as percentage of total. Results: The study included 60 subjects, out of these 30 were males and 30 were females. The mean height of the subjects was 173 +/- 65 cm. There were 3.3% (n=1) males and 6.7% (n=2) females between the age of 50-59 years. Conclusion: From the above study, we can clearly observe that total hip replacement is gaining widespread popularity in the orthopedic surgery.
