Total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are commonly performed surgeries worldwide. The number of joint replacement surgeries being performed has increased considerably over the past two decades, but it has also seen an increase in litigation associated with it. The purpose of our study was to review and consolidate literature regarding medico-legal issues pertaining to THA and TKA cases. We looked at the causes of litigation, medico legal aspects of pre-operative requirements, optimisation of medical condition, indications and contraindications for arthroplasty, informed consent, implants, mixing of components from different manufacturers and post-operative rehabilitation. We also wanted to analyse available literature and legal proceedings regarding these cases in India specifically.
全髋关节置换术(THA)和全膝关节置换术(TKA)是全球范围内常见的手术。在过去二十年中,进行的关节置换手术数量大幅增加,但与之相关的诉讼也有所增加。我们研究的目的是回顾和整理有关THA和TKA病例的医疗法律问题的文献。我们研究了诉讼原因、术前要求的医疗法律方面、医疗状况的优化、关节置换术的适应症和禁忌症、知情同意、植入物、不同制造商组件的混用以及术后康复。我们还想特别分析印度关于这些病例的现有文献和法律程序。
