ABSTRACT
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a highly successful operation performed worldwide in increasing numbers for a wide range of indications. There has been a corresponding rise in the incidence of periprosthetic joint infection of the hip (PJIH), which is a devastating complication. There is a significant variation in the definition, diagnosis and management of PJIH largely due to a lack of high-level evidence. The current standard of practice is largely based on cohort studies from high-volume centres, consensus publications amongst subject experts, and national guidance. This review describes our philosophy and practical approach of managing PJIH at a regional tertiary high-volume joint replacement centre.
