Failure rates in surgical treatment in adults with bacterial arthritis of a native joint: a systematic review of 8,586 native joints.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Most adult cases of bacterial-septic-arthritis of a native joint are effectively managed with a single surgical debridement, but some cases may require more than one debridement to control the infection. Consequently, this study assessed the failure rate of a single surgical debridement in adults with bacterial arthritis of a native joint. Additionally, risk factors for failure were assessed.

Materials and methods

The review protocol was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42021243460) before data collection and conducted in line with the 'Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses' (PRISMA) guidelines. Multiple libraries were systematically searched to identify articles including patients reporting on the incidence of failure (i.e. persistence of
