Abstract:
A 2-stage revision arthroplasty has been suggested as the optimal treatment for deep infections in the hip joint. Improvement of the surgical technique to increase the interim function is subject to investigation. From 2004 to 2007, we collected a cohort of 15 consecutive patients who were treated by a novel design augmented with a modified hip compression screw. No fracture of the cement spacer occurred. We believe the modified hip compression screw is a good alternative for the functional endoskeleton of an antibiotic loaded cement prosthesis in the treatment of deep hip infection.
