Good Functional Outcomes and Low Infection Rates in Total Hip Arthroplasty in HIV-Positive Patients, Provided There Is Strict Compliance With Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy

摘要

Background: Patients with HIV are more likely to require a total hip arthroplasty (THA) because of an increase in life expectancy and complications with HIV. The purpose of this study is to describe the mid-term outcomes of THA in HIV-positive patients and risk factors for postoperative infections and poor outcomes.
