Abstract

Due to increased patient life expectancy and number of total hip replacements being performed annually, the burden of revision hip surgery is increasing. Surgery is complex and creates unique challenges for the anaesthetist. This tutorial summarizes the surgical techniques, potential peri-operative complications and anaesthetic care of these patients.
