Abstract
Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a challenging complication following total hip arthroplasty (THA). Two-stage exchange arthroplasty is preferred for treating chronic PJI of THA, although specialized centers have reported comparable outcomes with protocol-based, 1-stage exchange arthroplasty. A main requirement is presurgical determination of the infecting organism's sensitivity. The therapeutic goal is control of the infection and maintenance of joint function. It offers advantages, including a single operative procedure, fewer antibiotics, and reduced hospitalization time and relative overall costs.
