Revision surgery takes more time, results in more blood loss, and has higher complication risks compared to primary surgery. Common reasons for revision include painful component loosening, implant failure, dislocations, infections, and periprosthetic fractures. Advances in surgical methods, implant designs, and bone loss management have assisted surgeons in addressing the challenges of revision THA and improving outcomes for patients undergoing this complex procedure. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, the THA revision surgeries of two groups conducted two decades apart were evaluated. All patient data, including age, gender, date of primary THA, date of revision surgery, reason for revision, and detailed intraoperative findings were recorded. Results: The demographics were similar in both groups, but the average age was statistically significantly different (p <0.001). In the first group, it was 55.4 years, while in the second group, it was 63.5 years. The most common reason for revision in both groups was aseptic loosening. Infection, dislocation, and periprosthetic fractures were other reasons for revision. Conclusion: The data indicate that dislocations have constituted a decreasing proportion of revision causes over time, likely attributable to improvements in surgical techniques, advancements in implant design, and the utilization of constrained liners. Nonetheless, infection persists as a significant challenge.}, number={3}, publisher={14 Mart Tıbbiyeliler Derneği}
