title: Sequential haematogenous infection of bilateral cementless total hip replacements.
abstract: We report a patient with bilateral uncemented total hip replacements in whom a deep infection on the second side may have been caused by a transient bacteraemia associated with a revision operation for deep infection on the first side. Both hips were successfully treated by one-stage exchange.
