J BONE JOINT SURG BR , 2005, vol. 87, n° 4, p. 454-457 Doc n°: 119764 Localisation : Bibliothèque Universitaire de Médecine de Nancy Descripteurs : DE361 - TRAITEMENT CHIRURGICAL / HANCHE Immunosuppression following intra-articular injections of steroid into the hip may interfere with asepsis in a subsequent total hip arthroplasty (THA). We have undertaken a retrospective, matched, cohort study of infective complications after THA, in 40 patients who had received such an injection and 40 who had not. In the injection group there were five revisions, four of which were for deep infection. There were none in the matched group. The overall rate of revision in our database of 979 p -imary THAs was 1.02%. Six additional patients who had received injections underwent ir vestigation for infection because of persistent problems in the hip as compared with one ir the control group. Langue : ANGLAIS |
