title: Two-stage management of the infected total hip arthroplasty.
abstract: There is currently no consensus on the optimal management of the infected total hip arthroplasty. Multiple management techniques have been described in contemporary literature.This paper focuses on 2-stage revision for the infected total hip arthroplasty. We discuss the rationale and examine the current evidence for the use of this technique.
