Abstract Background Deep periprosthetic infection after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a serious and challenging complication for the orthopedic surgeon. Muscular flaps may represent a valid management option for the treatment of this condition. We present a systematic literature review about the use of muscular flaps for the treatment of hip prosthetic joint infection. Methods The review is reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Seventy-seven articles, out of 279 titles, were considered eligible for the full-text analysis. Finally 15 studies that met inclusion criteria were included in this review. Results Overall, 210 patients (49% males, 48.6% females and 2.4% not reported) suffering from THA infection treated with muscular flaps were collected. The mean age was 69.6 years. Mean follow-up, reported in all studies, was 3.3 years. The results presented by the different authors, highlight the effectiveness of muscular flaps for the treatment of periprosthetic infection, in terms of function, limb salvage, prevention of the recurrences, cost-effectiveness, and quality of life postoperatively. Conclusions Muscle flaps provide an excellent management option for patients with persistent infection after total hip arthroplasty.

Abstract:: Coccidiomycosis immitis is a fungal infection that is a rare cause of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) in patients. This case report describes an immunocompetent patient who had a right total hip arthroplasty (THA) complicated with Coccidiomycosis immitis. This patient is the 9th reported case of Coccidiomycosis immitis causing a PJI and only the second case to be reported in a THA. Once progressed, it can be difficult to treat, often reoccurring and requiring repeat sur-gical and prolonged therapy. We discuss the clinical presentation in this patient and review the literature on the current pub-lished cases.
