Our analysis shows that our low early reinfection rate (6.45%) is within statistical expectation. Furthermore, we have showed that there is evidence to suggest that the rate of successful outcomes in one-stage revision arthroplasties, at least at the hip, is not different from the rate of two-stage revision arthroplasties and that the difference may be interpreted as stochastic deviation (p=0.264494). According to existing studies, an analogy to knee arthroplasties can be assumed. We demonstrated that one-stage revision is an adequate therapeutic option if patients are carefully selected and under the supervision of an experienced surgeon.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
