Antibacterial hydrogel coating is associated with lower complication risks after complex high-risk primary and cementless hip revision arthroplasty

Conclusion

Antibiotic-impregnated hydrogel coatings on cementless implants appear to be associated with

decreased complication rates after complex primary or revision THA. For second-stage revision

THA for PJI, it is also associated with reduced risk of reinfection and aseptic loosening.
