The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics of aseptic prosthesis loosening after total hip arthroplasty (tha) and explore the risk factors of aseptic prosthesis loosening. Through inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 87 cases of aseptic prosthesis loosening after total hip arthroplasty diagnosed in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from June 2012 to May 2023 were collected. The gender, occupation, age, prosthesis type, and body mass index of all patients were statistically analyzed. Among the 87 patients, 52 were male (59.8%) and 35 were female (40.2%), 46 were farmers (52.9%), 22 were civil servants (25.3%), 3 were teachers (3.4%), 6 were unemployed (6.9%) and 10 were other occupations (11.5%). 8 people aged 31-40 (9.2%), 13 people aged 41-50 (14.9%), 21 people aged 51-60 (24.1%), 25 people aged 61-70 (28.7%), 18 people aged 71-80 (20.7%), and 2 people aged 81-90 (2.3%). Most patients with aseptic prosthesis loosening after total hip arthroplasty are most common among farmers, aged 50-70 years old; the most prone to aseptic loosening in early and middle stages is acetabular prosthesis; osteolysis mainly occurs in the acetabular region I and the proximal femur; overweight is a risk factor for early aseptic prosthesis loosening.
