Abstract:
In order to illustrate possible causes of infection following arthroplastic hip operations, a retrospective review was undertaken of all operations of this type carried out during the period 1 May 1985 to 1 August 1988 in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Herlev Hospital. A total of 127 operations on 126 patients were undertaken. Deep infection occurred in eight patients. Suggestions are made for reduction of this high frequency of infection.
