Deep infection after total hip arthroplasty is one of the most serious post operative complications. Treatment of infection of the hip joint can be made very difficult by poor response to antibiotic therapy. Infection rates of total hip arthroplasty have decreased due to prophylactic antibiotics, sterilization of surgical instruments, cleaner operation environments, Improvement of surgical methods and proper patient selection. Recently, post operative infection rates of primary or revision arthroplasties were reported to still be as high as 1% to 2%. Therefore, the aim of this article is to review the recent literature and to evaluate the cause, environment diagnosis and treatment of infection after total hip arthroplasty.
