Two-Stage Total Knee Arthroplasty for Prosthetic Joint Infection
PURPOSE This retrospective review was conducted to identify prognostic factors for two-stage reimplantation for infected total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and the rate of reinfection following revision TKA. MATERIALS AND METHODS Out of 88 patients diagnosed with post-TKA infection between 1998 and 2011, 76 underwent two-stage reimplantation and were reviewed in this study. The 76 patients were di...
متن کاملIncreasing risk of prosthetic joint infection after total hip arthroplasty
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The risk of revision due to infection after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been reported to be increasing in Norway. We investigated whether this increase is a common feature in the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden). MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was based on the Nordic Arthroplasty Register Association (NARA) dataset. 432,168 primary T...
متن کاملInfection after total knee arthroplasty.
The aim of our study was to determine the current incidence and outcome of infected total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in our unit comparing them with our earlier audit in 1986, which had revealed infection rates of 4.4% after 471 primary TKAs and 15% after 23 revision TKAs at a mean follow-up of 2.8 years. In the interim we introduced stringent antibiotic prophylaxis, and the routine use of occlusi...
متن کاملMycobacterium smegmatis infection of a prosthetic total knee arthroplasty
The most common organisms causing prosthetic knee joint infections are staphylococci. However, arthroplasty infections with atypical microbial pathogens, such as Mycobacteria can occur. Due to the rarity of mycobacterial prosthetic joint infections, diagnosis, treatment, and management of these atypical infections represent a clinical challenge. A 71-year old female post-operative day 40 after ...
متن کاملBody mass and weight thresholds for increased prosthetic joint infection rates after primary total joint arthroplasty
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Obesity increases the risk of deep infection after total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Our objective was to determine whether there may be body mass index (BMI) and weight thresholds indicating a higher prosthetic joint infection rate. PATIENTS AND METHODS We included all 9,061 primary hip and knee arthroplasties (mean age 70 years, 61% women) performed between March 1996 a...
