A retrospective review of 1542 Charnley low-friction arthroplasties was carried out to compare the incidence of deep infection arising after plain and gentamicin-containing acrylic cement. There was no significant difference between the two series in primary operations, the infection rate being 1.72% and 1.65% respectively. However, in secondary operations (conversions and revisions) the gentamicin-containing cement gave significantly better results--a 0.81% infection rate as compared with 3.46%. All operations were performed in a clean air enclosure using total-body exhaust suits. Radiological diagnosis of deep infection was possible within one year of operation in all cases. Late haematogenous infection occurred in one case and was related to a skin lesion.
