Knee Fusion or Above-The-Knee Amputation after Failed Two-Stage Reimplantation Total Knee Arthroplasty
Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a serious complication of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Control of infection after a failed two-stage TKA is not always possible, and the resolution of infection may require an above-knee amputation (AKA) or a the-knee (KF). The purpose of this review is to determine which treatment method (AKA or KF) yields better function and ambulatory status for patients...
متن کاملRisk factors and the clinical and surgical features of fungal prosthetic joint infections: A retrospective analysis of eight cases
Fungal prosthetic joint infections (PJI) and reports of their clinical investigation are rare. In addition, there has been little evidence regarding the outcome of the two-stage exchange protocol for the treatment of fungal PJI. In order to investigate the risk factors and clinical, microbiological and pathological features of fungal PJIs, as well as the effects of the two-stage exchange protoc...
متن کاملIncreased Risk of Heterotopic Ossification Following Revision Hip Arthroplasty for Periprosthetic Joint Infection
Purpose: To investigate whether surgery for PJI of the hip, the number of procedures and their duration contribute to risk of HO formation. Methods: 56 patients with hip PJI undergoing one-stage (10) or two-stage (46) exchange arthroplasty were matched to 112 patients undergoing revision arthroplasty for aseptic failure based on age, gender, body mass index (BMI), surgical approach (all direct...
متن کاملDelayed reimplantation arthroplasty for candidal prosthetic joint infection: a report of 4 cases and review of the literature.
Fungal prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is rare, with Candida species being the most frequently reported pathogen in the medical literature. The risk of relapse following delayed reimplantation arthroplasty for candidal PJI is unknown. We describe 4 new cases and summarize 6 previously reported cases of candidal PJI treated with delayed reimplantation arthroplasty. Ninety percent of the patient...
متن کاملManagement of Resistant, Atypical and Culture-negative Periprosthetic Joint Infections after Hip and Knee Arthroplasty
BACKGROUND Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication following lower extremity total joint arthroplasty (TJA). It is a leading cause of morbidity and revision following TJA. As such, PJI is a significant driver of healthcare costs. The prevalence of PJI related to resistant and atypical organisms is increasing, and approximately 10-30% of PJIs are culture-negative. The ...
