Popis: Eleven patients who developed reinfection after 2-stage revision for infected total hip arthroplasty (THA) were treated with a repeat 2-stage rerevision. Of the 11 rerevisions, 4 were successful, with no recurrent infection at mean follow-up of 44 months. Reinfection occurred in 7 patients of whom 6 involved either a significantly compromised host or poor local wound status. Clinical symptoms of infection were controlled in 4 of the 7 reinfected cases with antibiotic therapy in 2, irrigation and debridement in 1, and a third 2-stage revision THA in 1. Repeat 2-stage treatment of infected THA is associated with a high failure rate. However, successful results can be achieved particularly if the host is not immunocompromised and healthy soft tissue coverage is present.
