A comparative analysis of 1.5-stage stem hybrid fixation versus two-stage exchange arthroplasty for periprosthetic hip infection

Our preliminary data suggest that our selective prescription of 1.5-stage revision was associated with significantly more re-revisions due to infection when compared with two-stage patients. We acknowledge the potential benefits of the 1.5-stage strategy, especially among high-risk patients, as it involves a single operation; however, higher reinfection rates must be considered when counselling these patients.
