The aims of the study were to review and analyse the reported
series of debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR)
in the management of infected total hip arthroplasties (THAs) to
establish the overall success and the influencing factors. Using a standardised recognised study protocol, meta-analysis
of observational studies in epidemiology guidelines, a comprehensive
review and analysis of the literature was performed. The primary
outcome measure was the success of treatment. The search strategy
and inclusion criteria which involved an assessment of quality yielded
39 articles for analysis, which included 1296 patients.Aims

In patients with severe quadriplegic cerebral palsy and painful hip dislocation proximal femoral resection arthroplasty can reduce pain, but the risk of heterotopic ossification is significant. We present a surgical technique of autologous capping of the femoral stump in order to reduce this risk, using the resected femoral head as the graft. A retrospective study of 31 patients (43 hips) who had undergone proximal femoral resection arthroplasty with (29 hips) and without autologous capping (14 hips) was undertaken. Heterotopic ossification was less frequent in patients with autologous capping, and a more predictable pattern of bony overgrowth was found. For a selected group of non-ambulatory patients with long-standing painful dislocation of the
