Infection after total hip arthroplasties (THA) is a devastating complication with significant consequences for both the patients and the healthcare systems. In recent times, a two stage procedure using antibiotic-impregnated interim spacers has become the most popular treatment for late chronic hip joint infections after THA with success rates over 90%. In this review, we discuss the different types of spacers used in the treatment of chronically infected THA and conclude that hip spacers are effective in the treatment of hip joint infections.
全髋关节置换术后感染(THA)是一种破坏性的并发症,对患者和医疗保健系统都有重大影响。最近,使用抗生素浸渍的临时间隔物的两阶段手术已成为治疗 THA 后晚期慢性髋关节感染的最流行治疗方法,成功率超过 90%。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了用于治疗慢性感染的 THA 的不同类型的间隔物,并得出结论,髋关节间隔物在髋关节感染的治疗中是有效的。
