Abstract

Girdlestone resection arthroplasty is a salvage procedure for hip periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) that controls infection and reduces chronic pain, but may result in limited post-operative joint function. The aim of this study was to assess physical function and mental health after Girdlestone.
