Risk factors predicting the reinfection in periprosthetic joint infection with sinus tracts following prosthesis removal and antibiotic bone cement spacer implantation: a case control study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The sinus tract has been demonstrated to be a factor affecting the efficacy of periprosthetic joint infection. Reinfection after prosthesis removal and antibiotic bone cement spacer implantation is one of the reasons for the failure of two-stage arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to investigate the risk factors predicting the reinfection in periprosthetic joint infection with sinus tracts following prosthesis removal and antibiotic bone cement spacer implantation.

Methods

Clinical data of 35 periprosthetic joint infection patients with sinus tract from February 2003 to December 2021 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Follow-up was discontinued either (1) when patients developed reinfection before completing the second stage of the two-stage re
