Introduction: Total Hip Arthroplasty is mainly seen in adult patients due to different reasons. This replacement has some adverse effects and complications. In this study, the complications and functional outcomes of THA has been discussed. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to observe the complications that may arise after total hip arthroplasty. In this study, functional outcomes of THA was also another concern. Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Orthopedics in Community Based Medical College, Bangladesh and a private clinic during the period from January 2018 to July 2023 jointly. This study had institutional review board approval and informed consent for evaluation of study patients’ reports and outcomes. A general health questionnaire is used for data collection, the SF-8 Health Survey (SF-8), and a disease-specific health questionnaire, the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) to assess functional outcomes after THA. Result: The result to date show a general occurrence of both in-hospital and post-release difficulties of around 7% in THA patients. Fractures (0.6%) and cardiac events (0.4%) are the most common complications that occur in the hospital for THA patients. The most well-known post-release complications in THA patients are reoperation because of bleeding, wound necrosis, wound infection, or different causes. For both situations, the incidence of bleeding complications was lower than that of other adverse events. Conclusion: According to the observers, in both groups, in-hospital or after 3 months of surgery, the result was in expected improvements in functional outcomes. More youthful patients and patients who had been released straightforwardly to their homes appeared to have the best improvement in useful result after a surgery.
