Increasing but levelling out risk of revision due to infection after total hip arthroplasty: a study on 108854 primary THAs in the Norwegian Arthroplasty Register from 2005 to 2019

摘要

Background and purpose — Focus on prevention, surveillance, and treatment of infection after total hip arthroplasty (THA) in the last decade has resulted in new knowledge and guidelines. Previous publications have suggested an increased incidence of surgical revisions due to infection after THA. We assessed whether there have been changes in the risk of revision due to deep infection after primary THAs reported to the Norwegian Arthroplasty Register (NAR) over the period 2005–2019.
