Abstract
In this chapter we describe the common modes of failure of the OUKA and suggest ways of dealing with them. We also discuss why they occur and how they can be prevented. Complications occur more commonly in the hands of learners than in those of the experienced surgeons whose reports are published in the literature. As a result, the incidence of complications is lower in published cohort series compared to national registers.
