Revision total hip arthroplasties exhibited a trend towards decreasing overall SSI nationwide between 2011 and 2016. Deep SSI rates had marked improvements, specifically between 2014 and 2016. This trend indicates some benefit from pre- and post-operative infection preventative strategies, but importantly, indicates continued room for improvement. Due to the potentially devastating complications associated with infection in revision THAs, further research is required to identify revision-specific strategies to lower the rates of SSIs.
