We report our mid-term results and risk factors of a two-stage revision using impaction bone grafting for an infected hip replacement. A two-stage revision using impacted cancellous allografs and cement was performed in 13 patients (7 total hip replacements, 6 femoral head replacements) with confirmed infection. The mean age of the patients at first stage operation was 63 years (range, 45–84 years). In the first stage, local antibiotics were added to customized cement beads and/or a cement spacer after removal of all components and radical debridement. In the second stage, impaction grafting was done using the X-change system (Exeter).Introduction
