DAIR in treating chronic PJI after total knee arthroplasty using continuous local antibiotic perfusion therapy: a case series study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Antimicrobial agents are administered via intramedullary antibiotic perfusion (iMAP)/intrasoft tissue antibiotic perfusion (iSAP) to infected lesions to control osteoarticular and soft tissue infections. Continuous local antibiotic perfusion (CLAP) has been reported to be useful. This study aimed to investigate the outcomes of DAIR combined with CLAP for chronic PJI after total knee arthroplasty performed at our hospital.

Subjects and methods

Six patients (male; one case, female; five cases, mean age 79.5 years (70-94)) underwent CLAP for chronic PJI after TKA at our hospital between July 2020 and June 2022. They were followable for at least one year after surgery. Seven months (17-219), with a mean follow-up of 24.3 months (12-36). In addition to direct debrideme
