Short summary
In total hip arthroplasty, infection remains one of the most devastating postoperative complications. It can be difficult to treat and eradicate. Currently there are several validated methods of combating infection but complications both during and after the process can derail the patient's recovery. We seek to determine complications that occur during the infection eradication process and the stage they occur in to bring awareness to possible reasons for failure of the revision.
