[Study of factors favoring infection in total hip prosthesis. Twenty-five observations].
The authors report 25 cases of infection following total hip replacement and individual factors are analysed. The role of immunological abnormalities is discussed. They distinguish early infection due to the operative conditions from late infection where individual factors are the most important. A few preventive measures are proposed, they emphasise the necessity of a large scale study of factors favouring late infection.
