Renal failure after placement of an articulating, antibiotic impregnated polymethylmethacrlyate hip spacer
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 58-year-old male presented with native joint septic arthritis of the hip and osteomyelitis. After treatment with an articulating antibiotic spacer, he developed acute renal failure requiring dialysis. He continued to have elevated serum tobramycin levels exclusively from the antibiotic spacer elution as no intravenous tobramycin was used. Subsequent explantation was required to correct his renal failure. Although renal failure after antibiotic impregnated cement placement is rare, the risk of this potential complication should be considered preoperatively and in the postoperative management of these patients.

Antibiotic impregnated total femur spacers: a technical tip
Simultaneous prosthetic joint infection of ipsilateral hip and knee arthroplasties is often accompanied by significant bone loss and presents a challenging reconstructive problem. Two-stage reconstruction is favored and requires the placement of a total femur spacer, which is not a commercially available device. We describe a surgical technique, reporting on 2 cases in which a customized total ...

Infection of the hip after implant fixation is an uncommon yet devastating complication that results in poor long-term outcome. The gold standard treatment for chronic infection after hip arthroplasty is a two-stage protocol: eradication of infection, follow by re-implantation arthroplasty. The use of interim antibiotic-laden cement spacer has become a popular procedure to maintain hip joint fu...

متن کاملAre Preformed Articulating Spacers Superior To Surgeon-Made Articulating Spacers in the Treatment Of PJI in THA? A Literature Review
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Antibiotic-loaded cement spacers are typically manufactured by surgeons in the operating room. However, if the infecting organism is known preoperatively, the cement spacer can be fabricated (Spacer-G(®) or the InterSpace(®) Hip) in advance. It is unclear if preformed hip spacers are superior to surgeon-made hip spacers in the treatment of periprosthetic joint infection f...
متن کاملUse of antibiotic-impregnated cement in total joint arthroplasty.
The use of antibiotic-impregnated cement in revision of total hip arthroplasty procedures is widespread, and a substantial body of evidence demonstrates its efficacy in infection prevention and treatment. However, it is not clear that it is necessary or desirable as a routine means of prophylaxis in primary total joint arthroplasty. In the management of infected implant sites, antibiotic-impreg...
