Background: The prevalence of resistant organisms has increased in periprosthetic hip infection. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of staged reimplantation for the treatment of periprosthetic hip infection caused by methicillin resistant microorganisms.
Methods: We performed a retrospective case-control study on 25 consecutive patient (15 men, 10 women) who had periprosthetic hip infection treated using a 2-stage reimplantation.
Results: 13 patients infected by methicillin resistant microorganisms were compared with 12 patients infected by non-methicillin resistant microorganisms. The 2-stage reimplantation was possible in all patients. At a mean follow-up of 4.8 years, no significant differences were found between 2 groups with age, sex, body mass index, diabetes, primary diagnosis and kin.. View More»
