Abstract

Periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) of a total hip arthroplasty (THA) are associated with significant morbidity and socioeconomic burden. A two-stage revision procedure has been the gold standard for the management; however, a single-stage revision approach can be used as a viable alternative in selected patient groups. Single-stage revision THA has the added benefit of reduced hospital stays, fewer surgical procedures and reduced costs when compared to the two-stage revision procedure. In this chapter, we discuss the pathogenesis, diagnosis and classification of PJIs and examine the surgical approach for one-stage revision THA, as well as the advantages and contraindications to the procedure.
