ABSTRACT

For its study, the infections after total of hip replacement are divided in superficial and deep, acute and chronic. The acute infections are those that appear in the first three months of the postoperative one; when they are superficial the problem is solved with the help of surgical cleaning; when they are deep an intense pain accompanied by fever, edema, exists increase of volume, leukocytosis and increase in the speed of globular sedimentation, the treatment should be an immediate surgical reoperation. The superficial chronic infections have been related with the presence of wires of the biggest trocanter. In the infection deep chronic, the constant sign is the pain, slight a slight fever remains, there is increase of volume in thigh and hip, the speed of globular sedimentation this high, but the differential of the leukocytes is normal. In turn the deep chronic infections can be subdivided localized, of low virulence, controllable and not controllable, each one with their own characteristics and specific treatment.
