Patients who underwent two-stage revision total hip arthroplasty for periprosthetic joint infection had a minimum 2-year infection-free survivorship of 73.8% and improved patient-reported outcomes at midterm to long-term follow-up.
Researchers performed a retrospective chart review of 328 patients (mean age, 67 years) who underwent two-stage revision THA for PJI between April 1, 1999, and April 30, 2020. They assessed survivorship, reoperations and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) at a median follow-up of 7 years.
Overall, researchers found a 73.8% survivorship free of infection at a
