N2 - BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Mechanically failed internal fixation following hip fracture is often treated by salvage arthroplasty. If deep wound infection is present, a 2-stage procedure is often used. We have used a 1-stage procedure in infected cases, and we now report the outcome.PATIENTS AND METHODS: We reviewed 16 cases of deep wound infection after mechanically failed hip fracture fixation, treated between 1994 and 2010. In all patients, a joint prosthesis was implanted in a 1-stage procedure.RESULTS: After an average follow-up period of 12 (2-18) years, no reinfection was detected. In 4 cases, a hip dislocation occurred and 3 of these needed further surgery.INTERPRETATION: A 1-stage procedure for arthroplasty of an infected, mechanically failed hip fracture fixation is feasible and carries a low risk of infection.
