The aim of our study was to evaluate the outcome acute prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) due gram-negative bacilli (GNB) treated without implant removal. Patients with an PJI GNB diagnosed from 2000 2007 were prospectively registered. Demographics, comorbidity, type implant, microbiology data, surgical treatment, antimicrobial therapy, and recorded. Classification regression tree analysis, Kaplan-Meier survival method, Cox model applied. Forty-seven patients included. mean age 70.7 years,...
Streptococci are not an infrequent cause of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Management by debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) is thought to produce a good prognosis, but little known about the real likelihood success. A retrospective, observational, multicenter, international study was performed during 2003–2012. Eligible patients had streptococcal PJI that managed with DAIR. The primary endpoint failure, defined as death related infection, relapse/persistence or...
ObjectivesEarly prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are managed with debridement, implant retention and antibiotics (DAIR). Our aim was to evaluate risk factors for failure after stopping antibiotic treatment.
Appropriate interpretation of a frozen section has relatively high specificity and sensitivity for the diagnosis infection when septic loosening prosthesis is suspected. However, its usefulness predicting presence microorganisms at time reimplantation after hip resection arthroplasty treatment not well defined. The aim present study was to evaluate histological analysis in this situation.From January 2002 February 2006, total twenty-one patients underwent infection. Histological studies...
Purposes To review patients with a hematogenous and early post-surgical prosthetic joint infection (PJI) due to S. aureus treated debridement retention of the implant compare their clinical characteristics outcome. Methods From January 2000 all in single-center were prospectively registered followed-up. All potentially variables associated outcome recorded. For present study, cases or PJI at least 2 years follow-up reviewed. Cox regression model identify factors applied. Results 12 53...
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to compare the prosthetic joint infection (PJI) rate after total arthroplasty in two consecutive periods treatment with different antibiotic prophylaxes: cefuroxime versus plus teicoplanin. We retrospectively reviewed 1,896 patients who underwent hip or knee between March 2010 and February 2013. From August 2011, received 1.5 g during induction anesthesia another 2 h later (the C group). September 800 mg teicoplanin added CT Throughout period studied, there...
Background Large acetabular defects remain a challenge in hip revision arthroplasty. Experience with Trabecular Titanium™ (TT) cups (Limacorporate S.p.a.) has not been widely reported. Therefore, we assessed the survivorship and clinical radiological outcomes of patients receiving TT cups, or without supplementary trabecular titanium hemispherical modules for reconstruction, primary total arthroplasty (THA). Methods Between January 2009 July 2014, performed 67 revisions 5 THAs using 69...
Background. There is no clinical trial analyzing the best moment to infuse an antibiotic during knee arthroplasty performed ischemia. We designed a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled evaluate whether therapy should be administered before tourniquet inflation or just deflation.
Purposes The aim of the present study was to evaluate importance isolated microorganisms according Gram stain and type antibiotic received on outcome early prosthetic joint infection (PJI) treated with debridement, antibiotics implant retention (DAIR). Methods From January 1999 December 2009, all patients an PJI were prospectively registered in a database they retrospectively reviewed for this study. Results During period, 160 met inclusion criteria After mean (SD) post-debridement follow-up...
Background: Appropriate interpretation of a frozen section has relatively high specificity and sensitivity for the diagnosis infection when septic loosening prosthesis is suspected. However, its usefulness predicting presence microorganisms at time reimplantation after hip resection arthroplasty treatment not well defined. The aim present study was to evaluate histological analysis in this situation. Methods: From January 2002 February 2006, total twenty-one patients underwent infection....
Although HIV-infected patients are at greater risk of presenting with ischaemic necrosis the femoral head, there have been concerns about whether total hip arthroplasty (THA) may worse outcomes than expected.From Orthopedic and Trauma Surgery database we identified all who had undergone THA because head from January 2001 until March 2010. Patient's diagnosis HIV infection was confirmed time by cross-matching unit database. For every in patients, two THAs not known to be HIV-infected, same...
To evaluate the relationship between intraoperative cultures during hip arthroplasty, different patient characteristics, and risk of developing a prosthetic joint infection (PJI).A prospective observational study was performed. Patients who underwent elective THA from March 2007 to 2011 were included. Three samples taken just after arthrotomy: synovial fluid inoculated into blood culture flasks (SF), tissue sample (TS), swab peri- (S). received standard antibiotic prophylaxis. The PJI rate...
