Kinesiophobia Post Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Retrospective Study.

Introduction One of the major psychological factors that can affect the outcome of hip arthroplasty is postoperative kinesiophobia, which is defined as a fear of movement. The effect of kinesiophobia and excruciating pain has not been widely explored in hip arthroplasty literature especially in Saudi Arabia. Aim This study aimed to investigate kinesiophobia and pain catastrophizing after total hip arthroplasty (THA) in King Fahad Hospital, Hofuf, Saudi Arabia.

Intraoperative Periprosthetic Fractures in Total Hip Arthroplasty in Patients With Sickle Cell Disease at King Fahad Hospital Hofuf: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background  Patients with avascular necrosis related to sickle cell disease (SCD) can be severely disabled by the severe degenerative changes of their hip. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains the only surgical option for some of these patients. Total hip arthroplasty can be a challenging procedure, and SCD patients demonstrate high percentages of medical, intraoperative, and postoperative complications and implant failure.
