Abstract
The
infection placed at
the site of a hip
total
prosthesis, both early and tardy, represents a drama for the affected
patient, of a greater seriousness comparing with that of the
background illness for which the arthroplasty was recommended, and
for the attending doctor represents the notification of a
professional failure, to fight with for a very long time. The costs
of the treatment for an infected total hip arthroplasty until the
complete healing of the patient, with the restitution of an adequate
biomechanical function of the respective hip are 5-8 times bigger
than the costs for a primary arthroplasty. Neither then, the above
mentioned desiderate can not be reached in 30-35% of the patients
with such pathology. Rather by gravity than frequency, this is one of
the most important problems in the orthopedical surgery.
