Abstract: The purpose of our study was to determine the priority tactics of surgical treatment of periprosthetic infection of the hip joint. Materials and methods. To carry out our study, we conducted a retrospective analysis of 114 cases of periprosthetic infection of the hip joint, which were treated in the hospital at the Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine, for the period 2014–2023. Results. The treatment outcome in the observation groups after six months had some differences. Thus, among the patients of the first group, a positive result in the form of a functioning hip joint endoprosthesis without signs of infection was found in 82.6% of cases. All 8 (17.3%) patients of the first group with an unsatisfactory result were transferred to the cohort of two-stage treatment of periprosthetic infection and started it from the beginning. In the second group, a positive result was found in 97.1% of cases. A negative result was observed in 2 patients, and one of them was diagnosed with oncological disease with receipt of chemotherapeutic immunosuppressive treatment during the pause between the stages of orthopedic treatment. Conclusions. When evaluating two tactics for the treatment of periprosthetic infection after hip arthroplasty, significant advantages of using a two-stage treatment tactic were revealed. Despite the lighter premorbid background of the patients, as well as a less severe microbiological burden in patients with one-stage treatment tactics, the treatment results are significantly better when using two-stage tactics of periprosthetic infection treatment.
