Fate of Two-Stage Reimplantation After Failed Irrigation and Debridement for Periprosthetic Hip Infection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Irrigation and debridement is an attractive treatment option for acute perioperative and acute hematogenous periprosthetic hip infections. We ask the following questions: (1) What are the results of a two-stage reimplantation if preceded by debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) compared with two-stage reimplantation without an antecedent DAIR? and (2) Do McPherson Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) host criteria influence results?

Methods

A total of 114 patients were treated with two-stage exchange for periprosthetic hip infection. Sixty-five patients were treated initially with a two-stage exchange, whereas 49 patients underwent an antecedent DAIR before a two-stage exchange. Patients were classified based on MSIS host criteria. Demographic
