Safety Profile of Seven-Day Intra-articular Antibiotic Irrigation for the Treatment of Chronic Periprosthetic Joint Infection: A Prospective Randomized Phase II Comparative Study. J Arthroplasty 2024; 39:S229-S235.e1. [PMID: 38604274 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.03.069] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2023] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/13/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic intravenous antimicrobials yield poor outcomes during treatment of periprosthetic joint infection due to the inability to obtain minimum biofilm eradication concentrations. This study evaluated the safety of a novel method of optimized local delivery of intra-articular antibiotics (IAAs). METHODS This was a Phase II, multicenter, prospective randomized trial evaluating safety of a rapid (seven-day) two-stage exchange arthroplasty with IAA irrigation compared to standard two-stage exchange. The Experimental Group received irrigation using 80 mg tobramycin daily with a 2-hour soak, followed by hourly irrigation using 125 mg vancomycin with a 30-minute soak via an intramedullary irrigation device. The Control Group received an antibiotic-loaded cement spacer with vancomycin (average 8.4 g) and tobramycin (average 7.1 g, total 16 g antibiotics). Both groups received 12 weeks of systemic antibiotics following Stage 2. Safety measures included adverse events, peak vancomycin/tobramycin serum concentrations (Experimental Group), blood transfusion, and mortality. There were thirty-seven patients randomized to the Experimental Group and 39 to control. There was no difference in baseline demographics or comorbidities. RESULTS There were no antibiotic medication-related adverse events and 2 serious adverse events related to antibiotic instillation. Of 188 vancomycin peak measurements, 69% had detectable serum level concentrations, with all concentrations well below the maximum acceptable trough threshold of 20 μg/mL. Of the 103 tobramycin peak measurements, 45% had detectable levels, with all below the maximum acceptable peak threshold of 18 to 24 μg/mL. There was no difference in blood transfused per subject (Experimental: 655 mL versus Control: 792 mL; P = .4188). There were two (2) deaths in the Experimental Group and four (4) in the control. CONCLUSIONS The use of IAA is safe with minimal systemic antibiotic exposure. There was no difference in the rates or severity of serious adverse events between groups. Further research is being conducted to examine treatment efficacy.

Shang G, Zhao S, Yang S, Li J. The heavy burden and treatment challenges of fungal periprosthetic joint infection: a systematic review of 489 joints. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2024; 25:648. [PMID: 39152412 PMCID: PMC11328363 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-024-07616-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2024] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 08/19/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Fungal periprosthetic joint infection (FPJI) is an infrequent but devastating complication that imposes a heavy burden on patients. At present, a consensus regarding the most optimal surgical option for patients with FPJI, the ideal duration of systemic antifungal treatment, and many other issues has not been reached. METHODS A comprehensive literature search was performed on the PubMed and Embase databases. The search criteria employed were as follows: (fungal OR candida OR mycotic) AND periprosthetic joint infection. Initially, the titles and abstracts were screened, and subsequently, studies deemed irrelevant or duplicative were eliminated. Following this, the complete texts of remaining articles were thoroughly examined. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 489 joints in 24 articles were screened out. We further extracted the demographic characteristics (age, gender, body mass index, etc.), clinical presentation, fungal species, presence of bacterial coinfection, surgical methods, systemic and local antifungal therapy, and treatment outcomes. Subgroup data were analyzed according to fungal species and bacterial coinfection. Univariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to ascertain the risk factors associated with the infection recurrence. RESULTS A total of 506 fungi were identified within 489 joints. The most prevalent fungal species were Candida albicans (41.5%). Out of 247 joints (50.5%) presenting with concurrent fungal and bacterial infections. Among the initial surgical interventions, two-stage exchange was the most common (59.1%). The infection recurrence rates of DAIR, resection arthroplasty, two-stage, one-stage, and three-stage exchange were 81.4%, 53.1%, 47.7%, 35.0%, and 30%, respectively. The mean duration of systemic antifungal therapy was 12.8 weeks. The most common drugs used both in intravenous (55.9%) and oral therapy (84.0%) were fluconazole. The proportion of patients who used antifungal drugs after replantation (two-stage and three-stage) was 87.6%. 33.2% of cement spacer or fixed cement contained antifungal drugs, of which amphotericin B was the main choice (82.7%). FPJI caused by candida albicans (OR = 1.717, p = 0.041) and DAIR (OR = 8.433, p = 0.003) were risk factors for infection recurrence. CONCLUSIONS Two-stage exchange remains the most commonly used surgical approach. The reliability of one- and three-exchange needs further evaluation due to the small sample size. Antifungal-loaded cement spacers, and direct intra-articular injections of antimycotics after reimplatation should be strongly considered. Medication is not standardized but rather individualized according to microbiology and the status of patients.

Jarusriwanna A, Mu W, Parvizi J. Local Antibiotic Infusion in Periprosthetic Joint Infection Following Total Hip Arthroplasty. J Clin Med 2024; 13:4848. [PMID: 39200989 PMCID: PMC11355570 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13164848] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2024] [Revised: 08/08/2024] [Accepted: 08/14/2024] [Indexed: 09/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Local antibiotic infusion has emerged as a promising adjunctive therapy, delivering high concentrations of antibiotics directly to the infection site. This approach aims to enhance eradication of pathogens while minimizing systemic side effects associated with prolonged antibiotic use. This narrative review encompassed 10 articles focused on all three procedures of surgical intervention for periprosthetic joint injection (PJI) following total hip arthroplasty (THA): debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR), single-stage revision arthroplasty, and two-stage revision arthroplasty. Recent studies report success rates ranging from 90 to 100% in patients undergoing DAIR, 82 to 100% in single-stage revision arthroplasty, and 80% in two-stage revision arthroplasty. The adjunctive use of local antibiotic infusion alongside surgical treatment for PJI following THA provides high success rates and is associated with low systemic complications, such as renal toxicity. Further research, particularly high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCTs), is warranted to validate and refine treatment protocols, ensuring consistent efficacy and safety.

Development of novel hybrid 3D-printed degradable artificial joints incorporating electrospun pharmaceutical- and growth factor-loaded nanofibers for small joint reconstruction. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2024; 159:213821. [PMID: 38428121 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2024.213821] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2023] [Revised: 02/04/2024] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 03/03/2024]
Abstract
Small joint reconstruction remains challenging and can lead to prosthesis-related complications, mainly due to the suboptimal performance of the silicone materials used and adverse host reactions. In this study, we developed hybrid artificial joints using three-dimensional printing (3D printing) for polycaprolactone (PCL) and incorporated electrospun nanofibers loaded with drugs and biomolecules for small joint reconstruction. We evaluated the mechanical properties of the degradable joints and the drug discharge patterns of the nanofibers. Empirical data revealed that the 3D-printed PCL joints exhibited good mechanical and fatigue properties. The drug-eluting nanofibers sustainedly released teicoplanin, ceftazidime, and ketorolac in vitro for over 30, 19, and 30 days, respectively. Furthermore, the nanofibers released high levels of bone morphogenetic protein-2 and connective tissue growth factors for over 30 days. An in vivo animal test demonstrated that nanofiber-loaded joints released high concentrations of antibiotics and analgesics in a rabbit model for 28 days. The animals in the drug-loaded degradable joint group showed greater activity counts than those in the surgery-only group. The experimental data suggest that degradable joints with sustained release of drugs and biomolecules may be utilized in small joint arthroplasty.

Local antibiotic delivery via intra-articular catheter infusion for the treatment of periprosthetic joint infection: a systematic review. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2024:10.1007/s00402-024-05341-2. [PMID: 38691147 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-024-05341-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/14/2024] [Indexed: 05/03/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is an increasing interest in the use of intra-articular (IA) antibiotic infusion as a stand-alone or adjuvant therapy to standard revision surgery for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). The objective of this systematic review is to evaluate the evidence with respect to this up-and-coming treatment modality. METHODS A systematic review of studies published until April 2023 was conducted using PubMed, Embase, MEDLINE and Cochrane databases. Quality assessment was performed with the National Institute of Health quality assessment tool. Inclusion criteria were adult patients (≥ 18 years) with a mean follow-up of ≥ 11 months and a score ≥ 6 on the National Institute of Health quality assessment tool. Primary outcome was eradication of infection. RESULTS 15 articles, encompassing 631 PJIs in 626 patients, were included in the final analysis, all level IV case series. The majority was treated with single-stage revision with adjuvant IA antibiotic infusion (79.1%). The remaining PJIs were treated with stand-alone IA antibiotic infusion (12.2%), DAIR (debridement, antibiotics and implant retention) with adjuvant IA antibiotic infusion (5.7%) or two-stage revision with adjuvant IA antibiotic infusion (3.0%). Mean duration of IA antibiotic infusion was 19 days (range 3-50). An overall failure rate of approximately 11% was found. In total 117 complications occurred, 71 were non-catheter-related and 46 were catheter-related. The most common catheter-related complications were premature loss of the catheter (18/46) and elevated blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine levels (12/46). CONCLUSIONS Due to the lack of comparative studies the (added) benefit of IA antibiotic infusion in the treatment of PJI remains uncertain. Based on the current evidence, we would advise against using it as a stand-alone treatment. A prospective randomized controlled trial using a well-described infusion protocol is needed to see if the potential benefits justify the increased costs and potential complications of this treatment modality.

Abstract
Prosthetic joint infections are considered difficult to treat they needing aggressive surgery and long antimicrobial treatments. However, the exact duration of these therapies has been established empirically. In the last years, several studies have explored the possibility of reducing the length of treatment in this setting, with conflicting results. In this narrative review, we critically appraise the published evidence, considering the different surgical approaches (implant retention [DAIR] and one-step and two-step exchange procedures) separately. In patients managed with DAIR, usually treated for at least 12 weeks, a large, randomized trial failed to show that 6 weeks were non-inferior. However, another randomized clinical trial supports the use of 8 weeks, as long as the surgical conditions are favorable and antibiotics with good antibiofilm activity can be administered. In patients managed with a two-step exchange procedure, usually treated during 6 weeks, a randomized clinical trial showed the efficacy of a 4-week course of antimicrobials. Also, the use of local antibiotics may allow the use of even shorter treatments. Finally, in the case of one-step exchange procedures, there is a trend towards reducing the length of therapy, and the largest randomized clinical trial supports the use of 6 weeks of therapy.

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY & TRAUMATOLOGY : ORTHOPEDIE TRAUMATOLOGIE 2024; 34:1031-1036. [PMID: 37864658 DOI: 10.1007/s00590-023-03764-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 10/23/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Chronic prosthetic joint infection patients who fail conventional two-stage revision surgery are an especially difficult to treat patient population. Consequently, the objective of this study was to investigate the safety and long-term effectiveness of adjuvant intra-articular vancomycin therapy in conjunction with two-stage revision knee arthroplasties for recalcitrant Staphylococcal prosthetic joint infections. METHODS This was an observational cohort study of twelve patients with recalcitrant Staphylococcal prosthetic joint infections of the knee which had failed previous revision surgeries. Each patient subsequently underwent two-stage revision with placement of Hickman catheters to deliver intra-articular vancomycin therapy. In addition, systemic antibiotic therapy was administered for 6 weeks, and long-term follow-up was evaluated then for 5 years. RESULTS Seventy-five percent of the cohort have had no recurrence of their infections at 5 years. Two patients formed fistulas requiring above the knee amputations, and three patients had acute kidney injury. All patients had maximum measurable serum vancomycin trough levels that ranged from 6.1 to 93.6 mcg/mL. CONCLUSION The aggressive protocol used in this cohort with repeat two-stage revision surgery, intra-articular vancomycin and systemic antibiotics was able to prevent recurrence of infection in most patients, but higher than expected rates of acute kidney injury were observed in this study. Therefore, while intra-articular vancomycin therapy may have some effectiveness in treating recalcitrant prosthetic joint infections, its ability to eradicate all bacterial niduses is unproven, and clinicians should be cognizant of potential adverse events that can occur with this therapy.

Abstract
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a catastrophic complication following joint replacement surgery. One potential treatment approach for PJI could be the combination of one-stage revision and intra-articular infusion of antibiotics. Meropenem is one of the commonly used intra-articular antibiotics in our institution. Determining the concentration of meropenem in the joint cavity could be crucial for optimizing its local application, effectively eradicating biofilm infection, and improving PJI treatment outcomes. In this study, we developed a simple, precise, and accurate method of two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) for determining the concentration of meropenem in human synovial fluid. The method was then validated based on the guidelines of the Food and Drug Administration and the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Meropenem showed good linearity in the range of 0.31-25.01 μg/mL (r ≥ .999). Selectivity, intra-day and inter-day precision and accuracy, extraction recovery, and stability validation results were all within the acceptance range. This method has been successfully applied to the determination of synovial fluid samples from PJI patients, providing a useful detection method for meropenem therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in PJI patients.

Abstract
Background The use of a single dose of intra-articular antibiotic (IAA) has been reported in reducing the rate of prosthetic joint injection after total hip and knee arthroplasty. We examine the safety of IAA in primary hip and knee replacement surgery and the blood levels and joint fluid levels of vancomycin utilising this technique. Methods From August to October 2021, 68 patients undergoing primary total joint arthroplasty (THA & TKA) were given 1g vancomycin intra-articularly (IA)after closure of the fascia. All patients received 2g cefazolin intravenously (IV) 30 min prior to the procedure as is our standard prophylaxis, and 21 of the patients (IA + IV) were also administered an additional 1 gm vancomycin IV. Post-operative blood vancomycin, creatinine land eGFR level monitoring was performed d1 and d3. To determine the post-operative intra-articular vancomycin levels, surgical drain fluid was sampled at day 1 and 2, in 10 patients. Results All patients had serum vancomycin levels measured on day 1 and 3. In the group where vancomycin was injected after fascial closure, the average blood vancomycin level day 1 was 5.2 μg/ml (range 2.0-10.9) and day 3 was <1.4 μg/ml. The average pre-op creatinine levels were 69.4 μmol/L (56.1-82.6) compared to 70.2 μmol/L (57.0-83.4) on day 1 and 66.1 μmol/L (52.6-79.6) on day 3, (p = 0.663). The average pre-op eGFR levels (ml/min/1.73 m2) were 82.2 (76.0-88.3) compared to 81.7 (75.6-87.8) on day 1 and 83.0 (76.8-89.2) on day 3 (p = 0.736). Samples of joint fluid aspirated from surgical drains on day 1 and day 2 showed average vancomycin levels of 224 μg/ml and 51 μg/ml respectively, significantly higher than the MIC for Staph aureus. Conclusions The use of intra-articular vancomycin is safe in primary TJA, with no renal damage and delivers levels within the joint which are highly therapeutic for at least 48 h post injection.

Abstract
Treatment failure in joint infections is associated with fibrinous, antibiotic-resistant, floating and tissue-associated Staphylococcus aureus aggregates formed in synovial fluid (SynF). We explore whether antibiotic activity could be increased against Staphylococcus aureus aggregates using ultrasound-triggered microbubble destruction (UTMD), in vitro and in a porcine model of septic arthritis. In vitro, when bacterially laden SynF is diluted, akin to the dilution achieved clinically with lavage and local injection of antibiotics, amikacin and ultrasound application result in increased bacterial metabolism, aggregate permeabilization, and a 4-5 log decrease in colony forming units, independent of microbubble destruction. Without SynF dilution, amikacin + UTMD does not increase antibiotic activity. Importantly, in the porcine model of septic arthritis, no bacteria are recovered from the SynF after treatment with amikacin and UTMD-ultrasound without UTMD is insufficient. Our data suggest that UTMD + antibiotics may serve as an important adjunct for the treatment of septic arthritis.

Abstract
Prosthetic Joint Infection (PJI) causes significant morbidity and mortality for patients globally. Delivery of antibiotics to the site of infection has potential to improve the treatment outcomes and enhance biofilm eradication. These antibiotics can be delivered using an intra-articular catheter or combined with a carrier substance to enhance pharmacokinetic properties. Carrier options include non-resorbable polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement and resorbable calcium sulphate, hydroxyapatite, bioactive glass, and hydrogels. PMMA allows for creation of structural spacers used in multi-stage revision procedures, however it requires subsequent removal and antibiotic compatibility and the levels delivered are variable. Calcium sulphate is the most researched resorbable carrier in PJI, but is associated with wound leakage and hypercalcaemia, and clinical evidence for its effectiveness remains at the early stage. Hydrogels provide a versatile combability with antibiotics and adjustable elution profiles, but clinical usage is currently limited. Novel anti-biofilm therapies include bacteriophages which have been used successfully in small case series.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is the main reason of failure of total joint arthroplasty (TJA). This study aimed to investigate the global trends and network visualization in research of PJI. METHODS Publications in PJI search during 1980-2022 were extracted from the Science Citation Index-Expanded of Web of Science Core Collection database (WoSCC). The source data was investigated and analyzed by bibliometric methodology. For network visualization, VOS viewer and R software was used to perform bibliographic coupling, co-citation, co-authorship and co-occurrence analysis and to predict the publication trends in PJI research. RESULTS There were 7288 articles included. The number of publications and relative research interests increased gradually per year globally. The USA made the highest contributions in the world and with the highest H-index and the most citations. Journal of Arthroplasty published the highest number of articles in this area. The Mayo Clinic, Thomas Jefferson University (Rothman Institute), Hospital Special Surgery and the Rush University were the most contributive institutions by network visualization. Included studies were divided into four clusters: bacterial pathogenic mechanism and antibacterial drugs study, TJA complications, risk factors and epidemiology of PJI, diagnosis of PJI, and revision surgical management. More articles in PJI could be published over the next few years. CONCLUSION The number of publications about PJI will be increasing dramatically based on the global trends and network visualization. The USA made the highest contributions in PJI. Diagnosis and revision management may be the next hot spots in this field.

Abstract
Gram-negative periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) has been poorly studied despite its rapidly increasing incidence. Treatment with one-stage revision using intra-articular (IA) infusion of antibiotics may offer a reasonable alternative with a distinct advantage of providing a means of delivering the drug in high concentrations. Carbapenems are regarded as the last line of defense against severe Gram-negative or polymicrobial infection. This study presents the results of one-stage revision using intra-articular carbapenem infusion for treating Gram-negative PJI, and analyzes the characteristics of bacteria distribution and drug sensitivity. We retrospectively reviewed 32 patients (22 hips and 11 knees) who underwent single-stage revision combined with IA carbapenem infusion between November 2013 and March 2020. The IA and intravenous (IV) carbapenem infusions were administered for a single Gram-negative infection, and IV vancomycin combined with IA carbapenems and vancomycin was applied for polymicrobial infection including Gram-negative bacteria. The bacterial community distribution, drug sensitivity, infection control rate, functional recovery, and complications were evaluated. Reinfection or death caused by PJI was regarded as a treatment failure. Gram-negative PJI was mainly caused by Escherichia coli (8/34), Enterobacter cloacae (7/34), and Klebsiella pneumoniae (5/34). Seven cases (7/32) involved polymicrobial PJIs. The resistance rates of penicillin, cephalosporin, quinolones, and sulfonamides were > 10%, and all penicillin and partial cephalosporins (first and second generation) were > 30%. Of 32 cases, treatment failed to eradicate infection in only three cases (9.4%), at a mean follow-up of 55.1 months (SD 25 to 90). The mean postoperative Harris Hip Score and Hospital for Special Surgery knee score at the most recent follow-up were 81 (62 to 91) and 79 (56 to 89), respectively. One patient developed a fistula, and another presented with a local rash on an infected joint. The use of IA carbapenem delivered alongside one-stage revision effectively controlled Gram-negative infection and obtained acceptable clinical outcomes with few complications. Notably, first- and second-generation cephalosporins and penicillin should be administrated with caution, due to a high incidence of resistance.

The Impact of Exchanging Cerclage Fixation after Extended Trochanteric Osteotomy in Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty for Periprosthetic Joint Infection. J Arthroplasty 2023; 38:367-371. [PMID: 36067886 PMCID: PMC10167626 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2022.08.041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2022] [Revised: 08/24/2022] [Accepted: 08/27/2022] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND An extended trochanteric osteotomy (ETO) is a powerful tool for femoral component revision. There is limited evidence that directly supports its use in the setting of a periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Cerclage fixation raises the theoretical concern for persistent infection. METHODS Our institutional database included 76 ETOs for revision hip arthroplasty between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2019. The cohort was divided based on indication for femoral component revision: PJI versus aseptic revision. The PJI group was subdivided based on second-stage exchange versus retention of initial cerclage fixation. Operative time, estimated blood loss, complications, and rate of repeat revision surgery were evaluated. RESULTS Forty-nine patients (64%) underwent revision for PJI and 27 patients (36%) underwent aseptic revision. There was no significant difference in operative times (P = .082), postoperative complications (P = .258), or rate of repeat revision surgery (P = .322) between groups. Of the 49 patients in the PJI group, 40 (82%) retained cerclage fixation while 9 (18%) had cerclage exchange. Cerclage exchange did not significantly impact operative time (P = .758), blood loss (P = .498), rate of repeat revision surgery (P = .302), or postoperative complications (P = .253) including infection (P = .639). CONCLUSION An ETO remains a powerful tool for femoral component removal, even in the presence of a PJI. A multi-institutional investigation would be required to validate observed trends toward better infection control with cerclage exchange. Cerclage exchange did not appear to increase operative time, blood loss, or postoperative complication rates.

Abstract
Osteoarticular mycoses are chronic debilitating infections that require extended courses of antifungal therapy and may warrant expert surgical intervention. As there has been no comprehensive review of these diseases, the International Consortium for Osteoarticular Mycoses prepared a definitive treatise for this important class of infections. Among the etiologies of osteoarticular mycoses are Candida spp., Aspergillus spp., Mucorales, dematiaceous fungi, non-Aspergillus hyaline molds, and endemic mycoses, including those caused by Histoplasma capsulatum, Blastomyces dermatitidis, and Coccidioides species. This review analyzes the history, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, inflammatory biomarkers, diagnostic imaging modalities, treatments, and outcomes of osteomyelitis and septic arthritis caused by these organisms. Candida osteomyelitis and Candida arthritis are associated with greater events of hematogenous dissemination than those of most other osteoarticular mycoses. Traumatic inoculation is more commonly associated with osteoarticular mycoses caused by Aspergillus and non-Aspergillus molds. Synovial fluid cultures are highly sensitive in the detection of Candida and Aspergillus arthritis. Relapsed infection, particularly in Candida arthritis, may develop in relation to an inadequate duration of therapy. Overall mortality reflects survival from disseminated infection and underlying host factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periprosthetic joint infection remains a significant challenge for arthroplasty surgeons globally. Over the last few decades, there has been much advancement in terms of treatment and diagnosis, however, the fight rages on. As management of periprosthetic joint infections continues to evolve, it is critical to reflect back on current debridement practices to establish common ground as well as identify areas for future research and improvement. BODY: In order to understand the debridement techniques of periprosthetic joint infections, one must also understand how to diagnose a periprosthetic joint infection. Multiple definitions have been elucidated over the years with no single consensus established but rather sets of criteria. Once a diagnosis has been established the decision of debridement method becomes whether to proceed with single vs two-stage revision based on the probability of infection as well as individual patient factors. After much study, two-stage revision has emerged as the gold standard in the management of periprosthetic infections but single-stage remains prominent with further and further research. CONCLUSION Despite decades of data, there is no single treatment algorithm for periprosthetic joint infections and subsequent debridement technique. Our review touches on the goals of debridement while providing a perspective as to diagnosis and the particulars of how intraoperative factors such as intraarticular irrigation can play pivotal roles in infection eradication. By providing a perspective on current debridement practices, we hope to encourage future study and debate on how to address periprosthetic joint infections best.

Abstract
Bacteriophage therapy is a promising treatment for periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs), particularly given these agents have innate abilities to degrade the biofilm matrix and lyse bacteria within. However, many aspects of this therapy are poorly understood causing treatments to lack uniform effectiveness and reproducibility, which is in part a consequence of several inherent limitations to using bacteriophages to treat PJI. Herein, these limitations are discussed as are additional translational research that needs to be conducted to advance this therapeutic. These include determining if bacteria causing PJIs are polyclonal, consequences of bacteriophage attachment receptor phenotypic variations and ramifications of bacteriophage activity when bacteria interact with in vivo macromolecules. Only with the realization of the current limitations and subsequent knowledge gained from translational research will the potential of bacteriophages to reduce the morbidity and mortality in PJI be fully elucidated.

Abstract
AIMS Periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) with prior multiple failed surgery for reinfection represent a huge challenge for surgeons because of poor vascular supply and biofilm formation. This study aims to determine the results of single-stage revision using intra-articular antibiotic infusion in treating this condition. METHODS A retrospective analysis included 78 PJI patients (29 hips; 49 knees) who had undergone multiple prior surgical interventions. Our cohort was treated with single-stage revision using a supplementary intra-articular antibiotic infusion. Of these 78 patients, 59 had undergone more than two prior failed debridement and implant retentions, 12 patients had a failed arthroplasty resection, three hips had previously undergone failed two-stage revision, and four had a failed one-stage revision before their single-stage revision. Previous failure was defined as infection recurrence requiring surgical intervention. Besides intravenous pathogen-sensitive agents, an intra-articular infusion of vancomycin, imipenem, or voriconazole was performed postoperatively. The antibiotic solution was soaked into the joint for 24 hours for a mean of 16 days (12 to 21), then extracted before next injection. Recurrence of infection and clinical outcomes were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 68 patients (87.1%) were free of infection at a mean follow-up time of 85 months (24 to 133). The seven-year infection-free survival was 87.6% (95% confidence interval (CI) 79.4 to 95.8). No significant difference in infection-free survival was observed between hip and knee PJIs (91.5% (95% CI 79.9 to 100) vs 84.7% (95% CI 73.1 to 96.3); p = 0.648). The mean postoperative Harris Hip Score was 76.1 points (63.2 to 92.4) and Hospital for Special Surgery score was 78. 2 (63.2 to 92.4) at the most recent assessment. Polymicrobial and fungal infections accounted for 14.1% (11/78) and 9.0% (7/78) of all cases, respectively. CONCLUSION Single-stage revision with intra-articular antibiotic infusion can provide high antibiotic concentration in synovial fluid, thereby overcoming reduced vascular supply and biofilm formation. This supplementary route of administration may be a viable option in treating PJI after multiple failed prior surgeries for reinfection. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2022;104-B(7):867-874.

Abstract
Aims Treatment outcomes for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) using systemic vancomycin and antibacterial cement spacers during two-stage revision arthroplasty remain unsatisfactory. This study explored the efficacy and safety of intra-articular vancomycin injections for PJI control after debridement and cement spacer implantation in a rat model. Methods Total knee arthroplasty (TKA), MRSA inoculation, debridement, and vancomycin-spacer implantation were performed successively in rats to mimic first-stage PJI during the two-stage revision arthroplasty procedure. Vancomycin was administered intraperitoneally or intra-articularly for two weeks to control the infection after debridement and spacer implantation. Results Rats receiving intra-articular vancomycin showed the best outcomes among the four treatment groups, with negative bacterial cultures, increased weight gain, increased capacity for weightbearing activities, increased residual bone volume preservation, and reduced inflammatory reactions in the joint tissues, indicating MRSA eradication in the knee. The vancomycin-spacer and/or systemic vancomycin failed to eliminate the MRSA infections following a two-week antibiotic course. Serum vancomycin levels did not reach nephrotoxic levels in any group. Mild renal histopathological changes, without changes in serum creatinine levels, were observed in the intraperitoneal vancomycin group compared with the intra-articular vancomycin group, but no changes in hepatic structure or serum alanine aminotransferase or aspartate aminotransferase levels were observed. No local complications were observed, such as sinus tract or non-healing surgical incisions. Conclusion Intra-articular vancomycin injection was effective and safe for PJI control following debridement and spacer implantation in a rat model during two-stage revision arthroplasties, with better outcomes than systemic vancomycin administration.

Abstract
The leading cause of treatment failure in Staphylococcus aureus infections is the development of biofilms. Biofilms are highly tolerant to conventional antibiotics which were developed against planktonic cells. Consequently, there is a lack of antibiofilm agents in the antibiotic development pipeline. To address this problem, we developed a platelet-rich plasma (PRP)-derived biologic, termed BIO-PLY (for the BIOactive fraction of Platelet-rich plasma LYsate) which has potent in vitro bactericidal activity against S. aureus synovial fluid free-floating biofilm aggregates. Additional in vitro studies using equine synoviocytes and chondrocytes showed that BIO-PLY protected these cells of the joint from inflammation. The goal of this study was to test BIO-PLY for in vivo efficacy using an equine model of infectious arthritis. We found that horses experimentally infected with S. aureus and subsequently treated with BIO-PLY combined with the antibiotic amikacin (AMK) had decreased bacterial concentrations within both synovial fluid and synovial tissue and exhibited lower systemic and local inflammatory scores compared to horses treated with AMK alone. Most importantly, AMK+BIO-PLY treatment reduced the loss of infection-associated cartilage proteoglycan content in articular cartilage and decreased synovial tissue fibrosis and inflammation. Our results demonstrate the in vivo efficacy of AMK+BIO-PLY and represents a new approach to restore and potentiate antimicrobial activity against synovial fluid biofilms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Conventional topical antimicrobial therapy cannot maintain a constant local concentration, resulting in uncontrolled infection and complications. We propose continuous local antibiotic perfusion (CLAP), which can maintain a constant appropriate local antibiotic concentration for a long time with less invasiveness and complications. CLAP is clearly different from traditional treatment because it uses negative pressure to direct the continuously infused antibiotic solution to the center of infection and excrete it outside the body. This study aimed to demonstrate the effectiveness of CLAP by presenting cases in which even refractory bone and soft-tissue infections caused by the hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) could be cured without significant tissue loss and dysfunction. METHODS This study is a case series in which four patients with limb infection due to hvKp were treated by CLAP. hvKp was defined by a positive string test. The therapy included intra-soft-tissue antibiotic perfusion and intramedullary antibiotic perfusion. Gentamicin (60 mg/50 cc) was infused continuously through dual-lumen tubes and bone marrow needles at low-flow rates (2 mL/h). Negative pressure was used to collect the antimicrobial solution and eliminate the dead space. RESULTS The infection was controlled in all four patients after a mean period of 44.3 days. The mean maximum blood concentration of gentamicin was 1.6 μg/dL, and no cases of renal dysfunction or ototoxicity occurred. After CLAP, wound closure was required in two patients and iliac bone grafting was required in one patient. As sequelae, there were one case of osteoarthritis and one case of higher brain dysfunction due to hypoxia. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that intractable hvKp infections can be controlled by CLAP. CLAP may give us the option to directly control local infections with less systemic complications. Therefore, it is considered a valuable treatment for further basic and clinical research, and this research report may be a first step.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The treatment of polymicrobial periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) confronted distinct challenges. No reports have assessed the efficacy of local antibiotic delivery combined with 1-stage exchange in polymicrobial PJI. METHODS Between January 2013 and December 2018, we retrospectively analyzed the data of 126 patients, including 19 polymicrobial PJIs and 107 monomicrobial PJIs, who underwent single-stage revision using intra-articular antibiotic infusion. The risk factors, microbiology, infection control rate, and clinical outcomes were compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS Higher body mass index, presence of a sinus tract, and prior revisions were the risk factors for polymicrobial PJI. Isolation of Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus, Enterococcus, and Gram-negative pathogens was highly associated with polymicrobial PJI. Of the 19 polymicrobial PJIs, only 2 patients occurred infection recurrence, which is similar with the result of 6 of 107 patients in the monomicrobial PJI (P = .225). The Harris Hip Score of the polymicrobial group showed no difference from that of the monomicrobial group (78 vs 80; P = .181). Nevertheless, the polymicrobial group exhibited inferior Hospital for Special Surgery knee score relative to the monomicrobial group (77 vs 79; P = .017). CONCLUSION With rational and targeted use of antibiotics, single-stage revision can effectively control polymicrobial infections, and achieve favorable outcomes similar to that in monomicrobial patients. However, this regimen is still needed to be further confirmed, especially in the infections with different microbial species simultaneously. Additionally, obese patients with a sinus tract and those who had prior revisions had a greater risk of polymicrobial PJI.

Abstract
Background Intra-wound vancomycin powder (VP) has been used in clinical practice to prevent periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after primary knee/hip arthroplasty. The role of intra-wound VP in the setting of debridement and implant exchange after PJI remains undefined. This study aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of intra-wound VP in the control of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) infection after debridement and implant exchange. Methods PJI modeling by knee prosthesis implantation and MRSA inoculation, debridement and implant exchange were performed in Wistar rats successively to mimic the one-stage exchange arthroplasty of PJI patients. Two weeks of systemic vancomycin (SV) or/and intraoperative intra-wound VP of single dosage were applied after revision surgery. Results No post-surgery deaths, incision complications and signs of drug toxicity were observed. The microbial counts of SV or intra-wound VP group were significantly reduced compared with the control group, while bacteria were still detected on the bone, soft-tissue and prosthesis. The elimination of bacterial counts, along with improvement of tissue inflammation and serum inflammatory markers, were observed in the rats with SV plus intra-wound VP. Serum levels of vancomycin in all groups were lower than that of causing nephrotoxicity, while no statistic difference was observed in the serum biochemical marker among the groups. Conclusions Intra-wound VP is effective after debridement and implant exchange in our current rat PJI model. Neither SV nor intra-wound VP alone could eradicate the bacteria within a two-weeks treatment course, while SV plus intra-wound VP could eliminate the MRSA infection, without notable hepatic or renal toxicity and any incision complications.

Abstract
Antibiotics have been injected intra-articularly by equine veterinarians for decades, either prophylactically when other drugs are administered for osteoarthritis or therapeutically to treat septic arthritis. This route of administration has also more recently gained attention in human orthopaedic clinical practice, particularly as an alternative to systemic antibiotic administration to treat infections following prosthetic arthroplasty. While the rationale for injecting antibiotics intra-articularly has been largely focused on achieving high local drug concentrations, there has been relatively little focus on pharmacokinetic parameters of antibiotics administered by this route, or on the potential for local toxicity. The increasing incidence of antibiotic resistance in veterinary and human medicine prompts reconsideration of off-label antibiotic usage and evaluation of evidence-based dosing strategies. The purpose of this review was to summarise the current literature describing intra-articular antibiotic usage, including specific studies where pharmacokinetics, potential safety and toxicity have been evaluated. This review will advance practitioners' understanding of the use of intra-articularly administered antibiotics, including the overall pros and cons of the approach.

Abstract
The rate of eradication of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is still not satisfactory with systemic vancomycin administration after one-stage revision arthroplasty. This study aimed to explore the effectiveness and safety of intraarticular (IA) injection of vancomycin in the control of MRSA PJI after one-stage revision surgery in a rat model. Two weeks of intraperitoneal (IP) and/or IA injection of vancomycin was used to control the infection after one-stage revision surgery. The MRSA PJI rats treated with IA injection of vancomycin showed better outcomes in skin temperature, bacterial counts, biofilm on the prosthesis, serum α1-acid glycoprotein levels, residual bone volume, and inflammatory reaction in the joint tissue, compared with those treated with IP vancomycin, while the rats treated with IP and IA administration showed the best outcomes. However, only the IP and IA administration of vancomycin could eradicate MRSA. Minimal changes in renal pathology were observed in the IP and IP plus IA groups but not in the IA group, while no obvious changes were observed in the liver or in levels of serum markers, including creatinine, alanine aminotransferase, and aspartate aminotransferase. Therefore, IA use of vancomycin is effective and safe in the MRSA PJI rat model and is better than systemic administration, while IA and systemic vancomycin treatment could eradicate the infection with a 2-week treatment course.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Vancomycin is one of the most commonly used antibiotics for intra-articular (IA) infusion in the treatment of prosthetic joint infection (PJI). This study aimed to preliminarily investigate the serum and synovial vancomycin concentrations in patients with PJI after IA infusion. METHODS In total, 16 patients who developed PJI were enrolled in this study; 14 of the patients were treated with IA infusion of vancomycin postoperatively, while the other 2 patients received intravenous (IV) infusion of vancomycin alone. Chemiluminescent immunoassay assay (CLIA) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were used to determine the serum and synovial vancomycin concentrations, respectively. RESULTS Administration of vancomycin 0.5 g once daily (qd) IA maintained a high vancomycin trough concentration in synovial fluid before the next IA dose, regardless of whether it was given in combination with IV administration. The combination vancomycin 0.5 g qd IA + vancomycin 1 g every 12 h (q12h) IV yielded relatively good trough concentrations of vancomycin in both serum and synovial fluid. The mean trough serum vancomycin concentration of patients who used vancomycin 1 g q12h IV therapy was above 10 μg/mL; however, no vancomycin was detected in their synovial fluid. CONCLUSIONS The rational use of IA vancomycin infusion may help to achieve effective therapeutic concentrations of vancomycin in the serum and synovial fluid of patients with PJI.

Abstract
Intra-articular injection of vancomycin may be an important antimicrobial prophylactic supplement to systemic administration in the prevention of prosthetic joint infections. In eight female pigs, 500 mg of diluted vancomycin was given by intra-articular injection into the knee joint. Microdialysis was used for dense sampling of vancomycin concentrations over 12 hours in the synovial fluid of the knee joint, and in the adjacent femoral and tibial cancellous bone and subcutaneous tissue. Venous blood samples were obtained as reference. The mean (standard deviation [SD]) peak drug concentration of vancomycin in the synovial fluid of the knee joint was 5,277 (5,668) μg/mL. Only one pig failed to reach a peak drug concentration above 1,000 μg/mL. The concentration remained high throughout the sampling interval with a mean (SD) concentration of 337 (259) μg/mL after 690 minutes. For all extraarticular compartments, the pharmacokinetic parameters (area under the concentration time-curve, peak drug concentration, and time to peak drug concentration) were comparable. The highest extraarticular mean (SD) peak drug concentration of 4.4 (2.3) μg/mL was found in subcutaneous tissue. An intra-articular injection of 500 mg diluted vancomycin was found to provide significant prophylactic mean concentrations for at least 12 hours in the synovial fluid of the knee joint. Correspondingly, the adjacent tissue and plasma concentrations were low but remained stable, signifying low risk of systemic toxic side effects and a slow release or uptake from the synovium to the systemic circulation.

Abstract
Background Debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) is the recommended treatment for acute hematogenous periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, DAIR is associated with a high percentage of unsuccessful outcomes. Since 2007, direct intra-articular antibiotic infusion, which can provide a high concentration of intra-articular antibiotic, has been used in combination with DAIR to improve treatment outcomes among patients in our institution. This study aimed to assess the outcomes of DAIR combined with direct intra-articular antibiotic infusion in patients who presented with acute hematogenous PJI after TKA. Methods We reviewed the data of all patients diagnosed with acute hematogenous PJI after primary TKA (from 2008 to 2015) who received DAIR combined with direct intra-articular antibiotic infusion. Results In total, 15 knees in 12 patients were semi-urgently treated with this method. The mean follow-up time was 93.3 (minimum: 56) months, and the longest follow-up time was 11 years. Two patients (n = 3 knees) had a well-functioning, non-infected prosthesis 6 and 10 years after the procedure. Two patients (n = 2 knees) had re-infection 2 and 5 years after surgery, and they required two-stage revision. None of the patients were lost to follow-up. Finally, 13 (86.6%) of 15 infected knees were successfully treated with this method. Conclusions DAIR combined with direct intra-articular antibiotic infusion is an effective treatment for acute hematogenous PJI after TKA.

Evaluation of Intra-Articular Amikacin Administration in an Equine Non-inflammatory Joint Model to Identify Effective Bactericidal Concentrations While Minimizing Cytotoxicity. Front Vet Sci 2021; 8:676774.

Abstract
Septic arthritis causes significant morbidity and mortality in veterinary and human clinical practice and is increasingly complicated by multidrug-resistant infections. Intra-articular (IA) antibiotic administration achieves high local drug concentrations but is considered off-label usage, and appropriate doses have not been defined. Using an equine joint model, we investigated the effects of amikacin injected at three different doses (500, 125, and 31.25 mg) on the immune and cartilage responses in tibiotarsal joints. Synovial fluid (SF) was sampled at multiple time points over 24 h, the cell counts determined, and amikacin concentrations measured by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Cytokine concentrations and collagen degradation products in SF were measured by ELISA and multiplex immunoassays. The mean amikacin concentrations in SF were greater than or equal to the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) (0.004 mg/ml) for most common equine joint pathogens at all time points tested to 24 h for all three amikacin doses evaluated. The inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) increased significantly in SF in the highest amikacin dose group, despite the fact that increases in SF cell counts were not observed. Similarly, the biomarkers of cartilage type II collagen cleavage (C2C and C12C) were increased in SF following amikacin injection. Mechanistically, we further demonstrated using in vitro studies that chondrocytes and synoviocytes killed by exposure to amikacin underwent apoptotic cell death and were phagocytosed by macrophages in a non-inflammatory process resembling efferocytosis. Neutrophils and T cells were susceptible to amikacin cytotoxicity at clinically relevant doses, which may result in blunting of cellular inflammatory responses in SF and account for the lack of increase in total nucleated cell counts following amikacin injection. In summary, decisions on whether to inject cytotoxic antibiotics such as aminoglycosides intra-articularly and what doses to use should take into account the potential harm that antibiotics may cause and consider lower doses than those previously reported in equine practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate relative cytotoxicity of antibiotics to normal canine joint tissues in vitro. STUDY DESIGN Experimental in vitro study. SAMPLE POPULATION Chondrocytes and synoviocytes (three dogs); cartilage explants (three dogs); six dogs total. METHODS Chondrocytes and synoviocytes from normal femoropatellar joints of three dogs were plated on 24-well plates (50 000 cells/cm2 , triplicate, 48 hours) and exposed to antibiotics (ampicillin sulbactam, vancomycin, cefazolin, ceftazidime, amikacin, enrofloxacin; 0.39-25 mg/mL, 24 hours). Viability was assessed by using trypan blue dye exclusion. Antibiotic concentrations at which 50% cell death occurred (half-maximal inhibitory concentration) were determined to rank antibiotics for relative cytotoxicity. Occurrence of caspase-3 expression after antibiotic exposure was assessed as an indication of apoptosis induction. Cartilage explants from three different dogs were minced and exposed to antibiotics (amikacin, ceftazidime, cefazolin, enrofloxacin; 5 mg/mL, 72 hours). Live/dead staining was performed, and fluorescence was visualized by using confocal microscopy. Percentage of live vs dead cells was quantitated. RESULTS Viability of chondrocytes and synoviocytes decreased with increasing antibiotic concentrations. Half-maximal inhibitory concentrations were determined for synoviocytes (vancomycin 13.77, ampicillin sulbactam 3.07, amikacin 2.26, ceftazidime 1.62, cefazolin 1.48, enrofloxacin 1.25 mg/mL) and chondrocytes (vancomycin 8.65, ampicillin sulbactam 8.63, ceftazidime 3.16, amikacin 2.74, cefazolin 1.67, enrofloxacin 0.78 mg/mL). Caspase-3 expression was upregulated, providing evidence that apoptotic pathways were active in cell death. CONCLUSION Half-maximal inhibitory concentration data provided evidence of lower toxicity of vancomycin and ampicillin sulbactam to joint tissues in vitro. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE These results provide evidence to justify future in vitro work with osteoarthritic joint tissues and in vivo clinical trials to evaluate safety and efficacy of intra-articular antibiotics to treat dogs with septic arthritis.

Abstract
While advanced technology, increased medical knowledge and improved surgical technique has improved patient outcomes in total joint arthroplasty, prosthetic joint infection still remains one of the leading causes of increased healthcare costs, medical resources and societal burdens in orthopaedic care. Two stage arthroplasty revision remains the gold standard for treatment of prosthetic joint infection. Proponents of single stage revision arthroplasty for infection argue that it results in lower healthcare costs while improving patient reported functional outcomes and with equivalent success rates. Here we review the history of single stage revision arthroplasty, discuss the key principles, highlight the indications and contraindications, and review the reported outcomes with a focus on future developments of single stage revision arthroplasty for hip and knee periprosthetic joint infections.

Abstract
Projections indicate an increase in primary and revision total joint arthroplasties (TJAs). Periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are one of the most common and devastating causes of failure after TJA. Perioperative administration of systemic and/or local antibiotics is used for both prophylaxis and treatment of PJI. Antibiotic stewardship is a term that has been met with clinical acceptance and success in other specialties of medicine. Identifying antibiotic best practice use in the fight against PJI is limited by studies that are extremely heterogeneous in their design. Variations in studies include antibiotic selection and duration, surgical débridement steps, type of antibiotic delivery (intra-articular, local, intravenous, and prolonged oral), mix of primary and revision surgery cohorts, both hip and knee cohorts, infecting organisms, and definitions of treatment success/failure. This review highlights the current challenges of antibiotic stewardship in TJA.

Combinational therapy with antibiotics and antibiotic-loaded adipose-derived stem cells reduce abscess formation in implant-related infection in rats. Sci Rep 2020; 10:11182.

Abstract
Implant-related infection is difficult to treat without extended antibiotic courses. However, the long-term use of antibiotics has led to the development of multidrug- and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcusaureus. Thus, alternatives to conventional antibiotic therapy are needed. Recently, mesenchymal stem cells have been shown to have antimicrobial properties. This study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial activity and therapeutic effect of local treatment with antibiotic-loaded adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) plus an antibiotic in a rat implant-associated infection model. Liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry revealed that ADSCs cultured in the presence of ciprofloxacin for 24 h showed time-dependent antibiotic loading. Next, we studied the therapeutic effects of ADSCs and ciprofloxacin alone or in combination in an implant-related infection rat model. The therapeutic effects of ADSCs plus antibiotics, antibiotics, and ADSCs were compared with no treatment as a control. Rats treated with ADSCs plus ciprofloxacin had the lowest modified osteomyelitis scores, abscess formation, and bacterial burden on the implant among all groups (P < 0.05). Thus, local treatment with ADSCs plus an antibiotic has an antimicrobial effect in implant-related infection and decrease abscess formation. Thus, our findings indicate that local administration of ADSCs with antibiotics represents a novel treatment strategy for implant-associated osteomyelitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intra-articular (IA) antibiotic usage is prevalent in equine practice. However, recent emergence of antimicrobial resistance prompts re-evaluation of antibiotic selection, particularly when used prophylactically. Furthermore, many commonly used antibiotics exert direct cytotoxicity to equine cells, and appropriate IA doses have not been defined. OBJECTIVES To screen antibiotics in vitro as an initial assessment of cytotoxicity against normal equine joint cells in monolayer culture and explant tissues. STUDY DESIGN In vitro experimental study. METHODS Chondrocytes and synovial cells were harvested from three horses and plated on 24-well plates (100 000 cells/wells in triplicate) for 48 hours prior to addition of antibiotics. Joint cells were exposed to antibiotics (n = 15) at various doses (25-0.39 mg/mL in complete DMEM media) for 24 hours and viability was assessed by trypan blue dye exclusion. The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) was determined for each antibiotic. Cartilage explants were obtained from 3 horses, minced and exposed to antibiotics (n = 5) for 72 hours. Live/dead staining was performed, and fluorescence was visualised using Olympus IX83 spinning disk confocal microscope. Percentage of live vs dead cells was quantified. RESULTS Antibiotics from different antimicrobial classes expressed dose-dependent but variable cytotoxicity to equine joint cells in vitro. Aminoglycosides and doxycycline had the lowest IC50 (most toxic). Ampicillin sulbactam, imipenem, tobramycin, ceftiofur sodium and amoxicillin had IC50 > 25 mg/mL for at least one cell line, representing potentially less cytotoxic alternatives. MAIN LIMITATIONS Further studies are necessary to extrapolate these in vitro data results to the in vivo joint environment. CONCLUSIONS Targeted IA antibiotic therapy would involve selection of the safest antibiotics (highest IC50) with efficacy based on bacterial culture/sensitivity. Antimicrobial selection and evidence-based dosing may minimise damage to native articular cartilage and synovial cells and development of antimicrobial resistance when IA antibiotics are used in equine practice.

Abstract
Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication that results in substantial costs to society and patient morbidity. Advancements in our knowledge of this condition have focused on prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, in order to reduce rates of PJI and improve patient outcomes. Preventive measures such as optimization of patient comorbidities, and perioperative antibiotic usage are intensive areas of current clinical research to reduce the rate of PJI. Improved diagnostic tests such as synovial fluid (SF) α-defensin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and nucleic acid-based tests for serum, SF, and tissue cultures, have improved diagnostic accuracy and organism identification. Increasing the diversity of available antibiotic therapy, immunotherapy, and alternative implant coatings remain promising treatments to improve infection eradication in the setting of PJI.

Abstract
AIMS In the absence of an identified organism, single-stage revision is contraindicated in prosthetic joint infection (PJI). However, no studies have examined the use of intra-articular antibiotics in combination with single-stage revision in these cases. In this study, we present the results of single-stage revision using intra-articular antibiotic infusion for treating culture-negative (CN) PJI. METHODS A retrospective analysis between 2009 and 2016 included 51 patients with CN PJI who underwent single-stage revision using intra-articular antibiotic infusion; these were compared with 192 culture-positive (CP) patients. CN patients were treated according to a protocol including intravenous vancomycin and a direct intra-articular infusion of imipenem and vancomycin alternately used in the morning and afternoon. In the CP patients, pathogen-sensitive intravenous (IV) antibiotics were administered for a mean of 16 days (12 to 21), and for resistant cases, additional intra-articular antibiotics were used. The infection healing rate, Harris Hip Score (HHS), and Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee score were compared between CN and CP groups. RESULTS Of 51 CN patients, 46 (90.2%) required no additional medical treatment for recurrent infection at a mean of 53.2 months (24 to 72) of follow-up. Impaired kidney function occurred in two patients, and one patient had a local skin rash. No significant difference in the infection control rate was observed between CN and CP PJIs (90.2% (46/51) versus 94.3% (181/192); p = 0.297). The HHS of the CN group showed no substantial difference from that of CP cases (79 versus 81; p = 0.359). However, the CN group showed a mean HSS inferior to that of the CP group (76 versus 80; p = 0.027). CONCLUSION Single-stage revision with direct intra-articular antibiotic infusion can be effective in treating CN PJI, and can achieve an infection control rate similar to that in CP patients. However, in view of systemic toxicity, local adverse reactions, and higher costs, additional strong evidence is needed to verify these treatment regimens.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacy of partial retention of well-fixed components during two-stage exchange for chronic total hip arthroplasty (THA) infection has remained unknown. METHODS A total of 14 patients with chronic infected THA were treated with damage control two-stage revision, including selective retention of the well-fixed femoral or acetabular component, aggressive debridement, antibiotic-laden cement spacer, antibiotic therapy, and delayed reimplantation. Indications for this treatment included chronic infected THAs with ingrown femoral or acetabular component and positive microbial growth with sensitive antibiotics. We excluded patients with acute infection; negative microbial growth; positive pathogen with high-virulence bacterial infections and multiple drug-resistant bacteria such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, fungi, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis; sinus formation; a prior failure for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) treatment; and obvious bone resorption in both femoral and acetabulum side. During the study period, this represented 3.3% (14/425) of the patients treated for infected THA. Minimum follow-up was three years. None of the 14 patients in this series were lost to follow-up. Successful treatment was defined according to a modified Delphi-based international multidisciplinary consensus. RESULTS No repeated debridement and recurrence of infection occurred during the study period; no patient need chronic antibiotic suppression. Successful treatment of chronic PJI was achieved in all patients. Despite the high peri-operative complication rate, no severe consequences were observed. The mean Harris Hip Score was 86 (range, 82-92; SD, 3.3). CONCLUSIONS The selective partial implant retention two-stage revision for chronic PJI may be a treatment option in properly selected patients with low virulence bugs.

[PMID: 32046827 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2019.10.051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 59] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2019] [Revised: 10/27/2019] [Accepted: 10/27/2019] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is one of the most devastating complications following total joint arthroplasty, accounting for a projected 10,000 revision surgeries per year by 2030. Chronic PJI is complicated by the presence of bacterial biofilm, requiring removal of components, thorough debridement, and administration of antibiotics for effective eradication. Chronic PJI is currently managed with single-stage or 2-stage revision surgery. To date, there are no randomized, prospective studies available evaluating eradication rates and functional outcomes between the 2 techniques. In this review, both treatment options are described with the most current literature to guide effective surgical decision-making that is cost-effective while decreasing patient morbidity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of extended trochanteric osteotomy (ETO) with immediate cerclage wire fixation on the scene of chronic periprosthetic joint infection on infection eradication and the osteotomy healing remains unclear. METHODS One hundred seventeen patients who underwent two-stage revision total hip arthroplasty for chronic periprosthetic joint infection were enrolled in the study. The minimum follow-up was 2 years. Of these, 48 patients had underwent ETO and immediate cerclage wire fixation during the first-stage surgery, while 69 did not undergo ETO or any other osteotomy. In addition, 18 patients had underwent ETO in the second-stage reimplantation surgery. Repeated debridement, curative rate of infection, and complications were compared between the 2 groups. Meanwhile, osteotomy healing between the first and second osteotomy were also compared. RESULTS The repeated debridement rate and curative rate of infection were 2.1% and 95.8% in the ETO group, compared with 13.0% and 82.6% in the non-ETO group; there were significant difference between the 2 groups in these parameters (P = .037 and .030, respectively). Meanwhile, osteotomy healing rate was 93.8% in first-stage surgery with infection scene and 100% in second-stage surgery without infection; no significant difference was detected in osteotomy healing rate and time to healing (P = .278 and .803, respectively). The rate of complication was similar in both groups. CONCLUSIONS ETO combined with immediate cerclage wire fixation does not appear to reduce the rate of infection eradication. There was no harmful effect on complication rate and osteotomy healing.

Abstract
AIMS Single-stage revision is not widely pursued due to restrictive inclusion criteria. In this study, we evaluated the results of single-stage revision of chronically infected total hip arthroplasty (THA) using broad inclusion criteria and cementless implants. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between 2010 and 2016, 126 patients underwent routine single-stage revision with cementless reconstruction with powdered vancomycin or imipenem poured into the medullary cavity and re-implantation of cementless components. For patients with a culture-negative hip, fungal infections, and multidrug-resistant organisms, a direct intra-articular infusion of pathogen-sensitive antibiotics was performed postoperatively. Recurrence of infection and clinical outcomes were evaluated. Three patients died and 12 patients (none with known recurrent infection) were lost to follow-up. There were 111 remaining patients (60 male, 51 female) with a mean age of 58.7 (sd 12.7; 20 to 79). RESULTS Of these 111 patients, 99 (89.2%) were free of infection at a mean follow-up time of 58 months (24 to 107). A recurrent infection was observed in four of the 23 patients (17.4%) with culture-negative infected hip. The success rate in patients with multidrug-resistant organisms was 84.2% (16/19). The mean postoperative Harris hip score was 79.6 points (63 to 92) at the most recent assessment. CONCLUSION Routine single-stage revision with cementless reconstruction can be a viable option for the treatment of chronically infected THA. The results of this study will add to the growing body of evidence supporting routine use of single-stage revision for the treatment of chronically infected THA.

Abstract
Acute peri-prosthetic joint infection (PJI) following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a potentially devastating and undesired complication, with a prevalence of 0.3% to 2.9%. Its suspicion begins with a meticulous physical examination and anamnesis. Diagnosis should be made on the basis of the Musculoskeletal Infection Society criteria. Serum and synovial biomarkers are very useful tools when major criteria are absent.Although sometimes not possible due to medical conditions, surgery is usually the first line of treatment. Although its outcome is highly correlated with the isolated microorganism, irrigation and debridement with implant retention (DAIR) is the gold standard for treatment. Ideally, the prior approach should be proximally and distally extended to augment the field of view and remove all of the prosthetic modular components, that is, femoral head and acetabular insert.Given DAIR's unclear control of infection, with successful outcomes in the range of 30% to 95%, one- or two-stage revision protocols may play a role in certain cases of acute infections; nonetheless, further prospective, randomized studies are necessary to compare long-term outcomes between DAIR and revision surgeries.Following surgical treatment, length of antibiotherapy is in the range of six weeks to six months, without any difference in outcomes between short and long protocols. Treatment should be adjusted to the isolated bacteria and controlled further with post-operative serum biomarker levels. Cite this article: EFORT Open Rev 2018;3:434-441.

Abstract
Prosthetic joint infection usually requires combined medical and surgical therapy. While revision surgery is widely considered to be the gold standard surgical procedure, debridement, antibiotics and irrigation with implant retention is a very appealing alternative. There is however great controversy regarding its real worth with success rates ranging from 0% to over 90%. A number of different patient and host related variables as well as specific aspects of surgical and medical management have been described as relevant for the final outcome. Along this paper, the authors will provide the readers with a critical narrative review of the currently available literature while trying to provide concise and practical treatment recommendations regarding adequate patient selection criteria, proper surgical technique and optimal antibiotic therapy.

Single-Stage Revision for Chronic Fungal Periprosthetic Joint Infection: An Average of 5 Years of Follow-Up. J Arthroplasty 2017; 32:2523-2530. [PMID: 28478188 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2017.03.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2017] [Revised: 02/25/2017] [Accepted: 03/13/2017] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Periprosthetic infections caused by fungal pathogens are a rare entity, and there exist no definite guidelines according to which these infections can be successfully managed. In these situations, we wondered whether patients could be treated successfully for their fungal infections with single-stage revision. METHODS A retrospective analysis between January 2004 and October 2014 included 11 patients (4 hips and 7 knees) with chronic fungal periprosthetic joint infection who underwent single-stage revision, including aggressive soft-tissue debridement, thorough removal of infected components and cement, pouring powdered vancomycin into the medullary cavity and direct intra-articular injection of fungus-sensitive antibiotics, and a reasonable combination of antifungal agents and antibacterial medications. Recurrence of infection and clinical outcomes were evaluated. The average follow-up was 5 years (range, 2-10 years). RESULTS There were 3 failures during the study period; 1 patient died during the perioperative period because of acute heart failure on the eighth postoperative day. Of the 11 patients, 7 patients had satisfactory outcomes and required no additional surgical or medical treatment for recurrence of infection. The mean postoperative Harris hip score and Hospital for Special Surgery knee score was 77 points (67-88 points; P < .05) and 78 points (73-84 points; P < .05), respectively, at the most recent assessment. CONCLUSION Treatment of chronic fungal periprosthetic joint infection with single-stage revision can be fairly effective for achieving acceptable functional outcomes, which indicated that this may be a feasible alternative strategy in selected patients.
