Periprosthetic Infection Total Hip Arthoplasty Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Treatment of the Acute Periprosthetic Hip Infection After Uncemented Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Randomized Study Comparing Open Debridement Component Retention (ODCR) With Modular Exchange Versus One Stage Exchange Arthroplasty
The purpose of this study is to determine the success rate of two treatments for infection after total hip replacement: single stage arthroplasty exchange (your surgeon will take out your original implants and replace them with a complete new set) compared to irrigation and debridement with modular exchange (your surgeon will clean your implants with a surgical solution and take out the plastic liner and replace it with a new one - the rest of your hip implants will stay in place). The goal is to see if one is better than the other for the treatment of hip infection after a total hip replacement. A successful treatment means that you did not have to have another surgery on your hip for an infection-related reason.
