The 'true' incidence of surgically treated deep prosthetic joint infection after 32,896 primary total hip arthroplasties A prospective cohort study

摘要

Background and purpose - It has been suggested that the risk of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) in patients with total hip arthroplasty (THA) may be underestimated if based only on arthroplasty registry data. We therefore wanted to estimate the "true" incidence of PJI in THA using several data sources.
