Abstract
Hip replacement is widespread surgical procedure in orthopedic surgery. Nether the less, the main and most costly problems in replacement of large joints with socially significant losses are infectious complications. The aim of this review is to analyze available data dedicated to infectious complications in orthopedy and to extract basic principles of diagnostics and treatment of the hip joint implant infection. It could be stated that early diagnostics and precise identification of causative agent, including evaluation of the microbiological, clinical, diagnostic imaging, immunological, histological and biochemical parameters, and also an adequate to the collected diagnostic data choice of surgical tactics and antibiotic treatment are the important components of successful treatment of periprosthetic infection.
