OBJECTIVE To explore the causes of early failure after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS The causes of early THA failures were retrospectively reviewed for 215 cases of revision THA between January 2007 and December 2013. RESULTS The causes of early failures of primary THA in decreasing frequencies were infection (50.7%, 109/215), aseptic loosening (31.6%, 68/215), dislocation (8.8%, 19/215), periprosthetic fracture (3.7%, 8/215), implant-related failure (2.3%, 5/215), heterotopic ossification (1.4%, 3/215) and liner wear (0.9%, 2/215). CONCLUSIONS The top three causes of early failure after primary THA are infection, aseptic loosening and dislocation.

D012189	Retrospective Studies	Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
