You talk with Mrs. Morgan about her surgery and she mentions possible complications, which she has discussed with her healthcare
Zolol [24]

Answer:

Wound infection

Dislocation of the prosthetic hip

Blood clotting in the leg

Bleeding

Explanation:

The four complications that are potential risks with hip replacement surgery are: Wound infection, Dislocation of the prosthetic hip, Blood clotting in the leg , and Bleeding .

Wound infection can be as a result of repeat surgery or the need for it, and this can be not very successful for mobility improvement. Most prior to surgery, antibiotics are administered preoperatively and postoperatively. Any procedure that involves invasion is also minimized to avoid infection.

Furthermore, dislocation of the prosthetic hip is another complication associated with hip replacement surgery. It is important to teach Mrs Morgan various measures to avoid this.

Another complication is blood clotting in the leg. One major complication that may result from hip replacement surgery is Deep vein thrombosis. Also immobility and bed rest are known causes of venous statis, which may also contribute to thrombosis. Also, surgeries requiring anesthesia administration and immobilization for over 45 minutes also increases the probability of  Deep vein thrombosis.

The final complication that may result is bleeding. This is a significant problem with this procedure. It is mandatory that there is blood available in the course of the surgery and after.
