title: One-stage revision of total hip arthroplasty for deep infection. Long-term followup.
abstract: One hundred eighty-three total hip arthroplasties were revised for deep infection in a 1-stage procedure using antibiotic containing acrylic cement and systemic perioperative antibiotics. At an average followup of 7 years 9 months, 154 (84.2%) patients were free of infection. The remaining 29 (15.8%) patients had evidence of persistent infection. The quality of pain relief immediately after a revision for deep infection often is a good predictor of success.
