Treatment of an infected total hip replacement with the PROSTALAC system. Part 2: Health-related quality of life and function with the PROSTALAC implant in situ.

Abstract

The mean WOMAC scores for pain, stiffness and function were better than they were for patients awaiting THR but not as good as 6 months after primary THR. The PROSTALAC implant allows patients to have reasonable function and quality of life during the interim treatment for deep joint infection.
