Short summary
Early infection after primary total hip arthroplasty can be effectively treated with one-stage cementless exchange revision. In our retrospective case series we have 100% infection control. If other similar orthopedic centers are able to reproduce our results, the potential benefit for the patients and treating institutions is of considerable importance worldwide. We did this research to document our results and make the protocol available for the orthopedic infection surgery community.
