    Reoperations for total hip replacements are common. Positive or negative bacteriological results during surgery can guide decisions on prosthesis revision or removal.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Infectious Disease

    Background:

    • Total hip replacement (THR) is a common procedure.
    • Reoperations are sometimes necessary due to complications.
    • Bacteriological factors may influence THR outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze reoperation rates after total hip prostheses.
    • To investigate the correlation between intraoperative bacterial cultures and clinical outcomes.
    • To determine if bacteriological findings should guide surgical decisions for THR revisions.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 177 reoperations following total hip prostheses at a single institution from 1965-1975.
    • Categorization of reoperations into replacements and removals.
    • Correlation of pre- and intraoperative bacteriological culture results with clinical outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • 177 reoperations were performed over a 10-year period.
    • Average interval to reoperation was 4.1 years for replacements and 2.1 years for removals.
    • A significant relationship was observed between bacteriological culture results and clinical outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Bacteriological status is a critical factor in total hip prosthesis outcomes.
    • Positive or negative bacteriological findings should inform decisions regarding prosthesis revision or removal.
    • Intraoperative cultures can aid in optimizing patient management after hip replacement surgery.
