Open Access Abstract It has been postulated that bacteria attached to the surface of prosthetic hip joints can cause localised inflammation resulting in failure of the replacement joint. However diagnosis of infection is difficult with traditional microbiological culture methods and evidence exists that highly fastidious or non-cultivable organisms have a role in implant infections. The purpose of this study was to use culture and cultureindependent methods to detect the bacteria present on the surface of prosthetic hip joints removed during revision arthroplasties. Ten consecutive revisions were performed by two surgeons which were all clinically and radiologically loose. Five of the hip replacement revision surgeries were performed because of
