The results of the pseudarthrosis after removal of an infected total hip prosthesis.

Twenty-nine patients with thirty pseudarthroses after removal of infected total hip prostheses have been reviewed one to six years later. Six hips still had a discharging sinus. Complete removal of all cement was found to be essential for healing, and various points in the technique of its clearance have been made. In this respect radio-opaque cement was a great advantage, and lateral guttering of the femur was most effective. Compared with the situation before replacement considerable relief of pain was obtained in most patients but there was much less improvement in function.
