One- or Two-Stage Hip Revision? High Mortality in One-Stage Challenges Its Growing Popularity: A Registry Study

Despite the excellent results reported for one-stage RTHA by individual large centers, nationwide data show significantly higher mortality rates in this procedure. This discrepancy raises concerns about broader implementation outside of specialized centers. Significant differences within the first year indicate an increased perioperative mortality for one-stage revision. While the re-revision rates are comparable, the increased mortality risk suggests that the one-stage approach cannot be recommended for wide use.
