Abstract

Postoperative infection following total hip replacement and the complications associated with the treatment regimens are unsolved problems. The long term results of resection arthroplasties for infection in the older, debilitated individuals are poor insofar as patients may be destined to be either on crutches or bedfast for the duration of their lives.
