Therefore, we sought to compare 1.5- and two-stage patients and determine: 1) baseline demographic details, comorbidities, infection, surgical, and inpatient characteristics; 2) re-revision rates and causes, hip pain and implant loosening of surviving implants, success/failure according to the Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) outcome reporting tool, and mortality at latest follow-up; and 3) whether the type of surgery (1.5- vs two-stage) is a re-revision predictor.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We undertook a retrospective review of 73 patients who underwent either 1.5-stage stem hybrid fixation (n = 43) or two-stage exchange hip arthroplasty (n = 30) at a single institution (March 2019 to May 2023). Demographic information and variables of interest were compared between groups. Predictors of re-revision were assessed with logistic regression. The mean follow-up was 454 days (23 to 1,620).</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Our cohorts were not significantly different, except for a higher proportion of 1.5-stage patients classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade III or IV (77% vs 50%; p = 0.025). There were more prior revisions among 1.5-stage patients (mean 1.5 vs 0.7; p = 0.012), whereas mean length of follow-up and mean operating time were significantly longer among two-stage patients (650 vs 317 days, p = 0.002; and 501.3 (360 to 660) vs 267.2 mins (150 to 420), p < 0.001, respectively). In the 1.5-stage group, there was a significantly higher proportion of periprosthetic infections as a cause of re-revision (80% vs 0%; p = 0.011). Postoperative success or failure (MSIS outcome) and mortality rates were not statistically significantly different. The type of surgery was not a significant re-revision predictor.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Our preliminary data suggest that our selective prescription of 1.5-stage revision was associated with significantly more re-revisions due to infection when compared with two-stage patients. We acknowledge the potential benefits of the 1.5-stage strategy, especially among high-risk patients, as it involves a single operation; however, higher reinfection rates must be considered when counselling these patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":48944,"journal":{"name":"Bone & Joint Journal","volume":"107-B 6 Supple B","pages":"62-69"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144192406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
