Arthroplasty-center related retrospective analysis of risk factors for Periprosthetic Joint Infection after primary and after revision Total Hip Arthroplasty

Abstract

Comorbid diseases seem to influence outcome after THA. They are important for predicting revision operations and implant survival. In severe high-risk cases, they can lead to perform the operation under precaution or to avoid performing the operation entirely. This should reduce PJI occurrences in future.
