Total hip replacement in the previously infected hip

R E McLaughlin, J R Allen

    Southern Medical Journal
    |May 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Total hip replacement is a viable option for patients with a history of hip joint sepsis. Thoroughly addressing prior infections leads to satisfactory outcomes and functional hip restoration.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Infectious Disease Management

    Background:

    • Hip joint sepsis presents significant challenges for joint function.
    • Previous sepsis can complicate subsequent orthopedic procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with a history of hip joint sepsis.
    • To assess the safety and long-term outcomes of THA in this patient cohort.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of ten patients undergoing THA.
    • Patients had a history of hip joint sepsis, including one with active tuberculosis.
    • Follow-up ranged from six months to over three years.

    Main Results:

    • Nine out of ten patients achieved satisfactory results.
    • No evidence of persistent or recurrent infection was observed in the successful cases.
    • THA successfully restored functional hip joints in most patients.

    Conclusions:

    • THA is an acceptable procedure for patients with a history of hip joint sepsis.
    • Preceding THA with thorough evaluation and eradication of sepsis is crucial for success.
    • This approach offers a solution for restoring function in complex hip conditions.
