The increasing rate of hip fractures is giving rise to a number of socio-economic problems for the aging community. In addition to being unable to resume their previous living habits, many patients fail to achieve full functional recovery after the fractures. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a successful operation for the majority of patients with all forms of hip fractures, being performed increasingly often throughout the world. Revision rates for THA range up to 20% per year. Aseptic loosening is the reason for 75% of the revisions. An additional problem post-THA is the rate of heterotopic soft tissue calcification after THA, resulting in severely impaired function, pain, and a reduced range of hip movement.
