Smoking may not increase early THR complications; hypothesis-generating for medium-term function and should not yet change practice.

Does smoking affect the complication rate and medium-term functional outcome in patients undergoing cemented total hip replacement?
Smoking does not appear to significantly impact complication rates or medium-term functional outcomes up to 5 years after cemented total hip replacement.
Khan et al. (2009) conducted a cohort in Total hip replacement (n=1,767). Smoking vs. Never smoked was evaluated on Complication rate and medium-term functional outcome. Smoking did not influence the complication rate or medium-term functional outcome at five years after total hip replacement compared to patients who had never smoked.
