After follow-ups ranging from two to five years on all but four (five hips) of 2,694 patients who had 3,215 total hip arthroplasties, deep wound infection had been demonstrated in forty-two hips (1.3 per cent). The infections among the 3,210 hips appeared during the immediate postoperative period or as long as five years after surgery. All operations were performed in conventional operating rooms. Previous operations, prolonged operating time, positive culture at operation, and unrecognized preoperative sepsis were related to the development of deep infection. In only eight of the forty-one patients (forty-two hips) was salvage of the prosthetic arthroplasty possible. The deaths of tree patients were directly attributable to the infection or its treatment.
