Cemented versus uncemented fixation of femoral components in 2-stage hip revision arthroplasty to treat periprosthetic joint infection: a cohort study on 94 patients comparing the risks for relapse and reoperation

We showed no statistical difference in the risk of infection relapse, but uncemented stem fixation in 2-stage revision arthroplasty for PJI was associated with a reduced risk of reoperation for any reason. Uncemented stems may thus be a suitable choice in 2-stage revisions for PJI when this concept is believed to provide better fixation.
