Abstract
Negative culture findings are common in periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) of the hip. Retrospective study was performed to total 84 patients which devided into two groups: culture-negative (n: 27) and culture-positive (n: 57). The reimplantation rate was 96.3% and 91.2% in the culture-negative and culture-positive groups, respectively. The overall infection control rate was 92.6% and 82.4% in the culture-negative and culture-positive groups, respectively. Two-stage revision resulted a comparable outcome for the treatment of culture-negative periprosthetic joint infection of the hip compared to the culture-positive group.
