One-stage revision of infected total hip replacements with discharging sinuses

V V Raut et al. J Bone Joint Surg Br. 1994 Sep.

Abstract

We report a prospective study of 57 one-stage cemented revisions of total hip replacement for deep infection with an actively discharging sinus. The average follow-up was 7 years 4 months. Seven patients had required rerevisions, but at latest follow-up, infection was under control in 49 (86%). A discharging sinus is not, in itself, a contraindication to one-stage revision of a hip replacement.
