Infected Total Hip Prosthesis is one of the most serious complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and can have serious consequences.Several techniques for treating infected THA , have been reported recently.These techniques include antibiotic suppression, debridement, and closed continuous irrigation without removing the prosthesis; one-stage cemented revision THA using antibiotic-impregnated cement; and two stage revision THA using either a cemented or a non-cemented component.We here report the management case of a infected total hip prosthesis in a obese 38yr male patient by two stage revision total hip arthroplasty, using an antibiotic impregnated cement spacer for the interval between first and second stages.
