Osteoarthrosis is the most frequent joint disorder in the world. An increased incidence of total hip replacement (THR) and total knee replacement (TKR) has been noticed recently. ⋯ Older population, especially women were operated on more frequently in the both groups. Regional anaesthesia was performed more frequently in the TKR group. Although a large percentage of patients had cardiovascular disorders and were of poor physical condition, postoperative complications were rare.
