Abstract
BACKGROUND With the increasing number of joint replacement surgeries, periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) has become a significant concern in orthopedic practice, making research on PJI prevention paramount. Therefore, the study will aim to compare the effect of combined usage of povidone-iodine and topical vancomycin powder to the use of povidone-iodine alone on the PJI incidence rate in patients undergoing primary total hip (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS The prospective randomized clinical trial will be conducted in two independent voivodeship hospitals with extensive experience in lower limb arthroplasties. The studied material will comprise 840 patients referred to hospitals for primary THA or TKA. The patients will be randomly allocated to two equal groups, receiving two different interventions during joint replacement. In group I, povidone-iodine irrigation and consecutively topical vancomycin powder will be used before wound closure. In group II, only povidone-iodine lavage irrigation will be used before wound closure. The primary outcome will be the incidence rate of PJI based on the number of patients with PJI occurrence within 90 days after arthroplasty. The occurrence will be determined using a combined approach, including reviewing hospital records for readmissions and follow-up phone interviews with patients. The infection will be diagnosed based on Musculoskeletal Infection Society criteria. The chi-square test will be used to compare the infection rates between the two studied groups. Risk and odds ratios for the between-groups comparison purposes will also be estimated. Medical cost analysis will also be performed. DISCUSSION A randomized clinical trial comparing the effect of combined usage of povidone-iodine irrigation and vancomycin powder to the use of povidone-iodine irrigation alone in preventing PJIs after primary arthroplasty is crucial to advancing knowledge in orthopedic surgery, improving patient outcomes, and guiding evidence-based clinical practices.

The effects of chlorhexidine, povidone-iodine, and vancomycin on growth and biofilms of pathogens that cause prosthetic joint infections: an in vitro model. J Hosp Infect 2024:S0195-6701(24)00230-5. [PMID: 38992843 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhin.2024.06.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2024] [Revised: 06/11/2024] [Accepted: 06/23/2024] [Indexed: 07/13/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) and povidone-iodine (PI) are commonly used to prevent prosthetic joint infection (PJI) during total joint replacement; however, their effective concentrations and impact on biofilms are not well defined. AIM To determine: (1) the in vitro minimum inhibitory concentration of CHG and PI against model PJI-causing organisms and clinical isolates; (2) their impact on biofilm formation; (3) if there is a synergistic benefit to combining the two solutions; and (4) if adding the antibiotic vancomycin impacts antiseptic activity. METHODS We measured in vitro growth and biofilm formation of Staphylococcus epidermidis, methicillin-sensitive and methicillin-resistant S. aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albicans, as well as recent clinical isolates, in the presence of increasing concentrations of CHG and/or PI. Checkerboard assays were used to measure potential synergy of the solutions together and with vancomycin. FINDINGS CHG and PI inhibited growth and biofilm formation of all model organisms tested at concentrations of 0.0004% and 0.33% or lower, respectively; highly dilute concentrations paradoxically increased biofilm formation. The solutions did not synergize with one another and acted independently of vancomycin. CONCLUSION CHG and PI are effective at lower concentrations than typically used, establishing baselines to support further clinical trials aimed at optimizing wound disinfection. There is no synergistic advantage to using both in combination. Vancomycin is effective at inhibiting the growth of S. epidermidis and S. aureus; however, it stimulates P. aeruginosa biofilm production, suggesting in the rare case of P. aeruginosa PJI, it could exacerbate infection.

Orthop Surg 2024; 16:1277-1283. [PMID: 38627352 PMCID: PMC11144508 DOI: 10.1111/os.14052] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Revised: 03/15/2024] [Accepted: 03/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/04/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Primary joint arthroplasty (JA) is one of the most common operating room (OR) procedures, with knee and hip arthroplasties being listed in the top five most frequent OR procedures and while not as common, shoulder arthroplasties are increasing at greater rates than knee and hip arthroplasties. Periprosthetic joint/shoulder infections (PJI/PSI) are a devastating complication of primary JAs with infection prevention deemed as the single most important strategy in combating them. The objective of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the efficacy of XPERIENCE® Advanced Surgical Irrigation (XP) in preventing PJI following primary joint arthroplasty. METHODS This is a retrospective study of primary knee, hip and shoulder arthroplasties that were performed by multiple orthopedic surgeons at a single hospital setting. XPERIENCE was used as an intraoperative surgical irrigant either solely, or with other intraoperative practices for prevention of infection. Incidence of acute PJI occurring within 90 days of index surgery were retrospectively collated. RESULTS Four hundred and twenty-three (423) primary joint replacement surgeries treated intraoperatively with XP, were evaluated for acute PJI incidence. Retrospective evaluations determined that 95% of the subjects had at least one risk factor predisposing them to PJI. There were zero PJIs diagnosed in the knee and hip arthroplasty cohorts and zero PSIs diagnosed in the shoulder arthroplasty cohorts. CONCLUSION The absence of PJI/PSI diagnoses in the JA cohorts treated intraoperatively with XP indicates that it could be an efficacious antimicrobial irrigant in preventing PJI, and warrants being evaluated in prospective, randomized controlled clinical trials as the sole intraoperative irrigant, as well as in combination with the other intraoperative infection prevention regimens evaluated in this retrospective study.

Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2024:10.1007/s00402-024-05301-w. [PMID: 38635048 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-024-05301-w] [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: 11/12/2023] [Accepted: 03/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024]
Abstract
The increasing frequency of total hip (THA) and knee arthroplasties (TKA) is marred by the rise in periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) and surgical site infections (SSIs), with PJIs incurring costs over $1.62 billion as of 2020 and individual case management averaging $90,000. SSIs additionally burden the U.S. healthcare economy with billions in expenses annually. PJI prevalence in primary THA and TKA ranges from 0.5% to 2.4%, spiking to 20% in revisions and representing 25% of TKA revision causes. Projections estimate up to 270,000 annual PJI cases by 2030. Often caused by gram-positive bacteria, particularly methicillin-resistant staphylococci, these infections demand preventive measures. This review dissects PJI prevention across preoperative, intraoperative, and perioperative phases, aligning with evidence-based CDC and WHO guidelines. Preoperative measures include managing diabetes, obesity, tobacco use, Staphylococcus aureus screening and nasal decolonization, nutritional optimization, and management of inflammatory arthropathies. Intraoperatively, antibiotic prophylaxis, skin preparation, operative room environmental controls, surgical technique precision, and irrigation options are scrutinized. Perioperative concerns focus on anticoagulation, blood management, and infection risk mitigation. Integrating these strategies promotes a patient-centric care model, aiming to reduce PJI incidence, improve patient outcomes, and increase care cost-effectiveness in joint arthroplasty.

Abstract
Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most common inpatient and outpatient surgical procedures performed in the United States and is predicted to increase 401% by 2040. Surgical site infections (SSIs) at an incidence rate of approximately 2% are costly post-operative complications in TKA. Intra-operative surgical irrigants are used to decrease contaminating microbial bioburden within the surgical site to prevent SSI. The primary objective of this retrospective study was to evaluate the impact of a novel surgical irrigant called XPERIENCE® Advanced Surgical Irrigation (XP; Next Science, Jacksonville, FL) on SSI incidence in primary TKA performed at an ambulatory surgery center (ASC). Patients and Methods: Primary TKAs were performed at a free-standing ASC. The novel surgical irrigant was used intra-operatively to rinse away debris and micro-organisms from the surgical site. Retrospective data collation included SSI rates, complication rates, and re-admissions due to SSI within 90 days of index surgery. Results: Among the 524 primary TKA surgeries, one peri-prosthetic joint infection (PJI) was diagnosed within 90 days of index surgery and one superficial incisional SSI was diagnosed within 30 days of index surgery. The PJI was attributed to an exogenously acquired upper respiratory tract infection rather than due to the failure of intra-operative regimes. The 0.19% PJI incidence rate indicated significant efficacy of XP in decreasing PJI. An overall complication rate of 7.82% was noted with none of the complications associated with usage of the novel surgical irrigant. Conclusions: XPERIENCE is a promising intra-operative antimicrobial irrigant that can be easily incorporated into a broader infection prevention strategy.

The outcomes of acute periprosthetic joint infection following unicompartmental knee replacement managed with early debridement, Antibiotics, and implant retention. Knee 2024; 47:13-20. [PMID: 38171207 DOI: 10.1016/j.knee.2023.12.001] [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: 03/21/2023] [Revised: 11/28/2023] [Accepted: 12/03/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) is an uncommon, yet serious, complication. There is a paucity of evidence regarding the effectiveness of Debridement-Antibiotics-and-Implant-Retention (DAIR) in this setting. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of DAIR for acute UKR PJI. METHOD Between 2006 and 2019, 5195 UKR were performed at our institution. Over this period, sixteen patients underwent DAIR for early, acute PJI. All patients met MSIS PJI diagnostic criteria. The median age at DAIR was 67 years (range 40-73) and 12 patients were male (75.0%). The median time to DAIR was 24 days (range 6-60). Patients were followed up for a median of 6.5 years (range1.4-10.5) following DAIR. RESULTS 0.3% (16/5195) of UKR in our institution had a DAIR within 3 months. 15 of 16 patients (93.8%) were culture positive, with the most common organism MSSA (n = 8, 50.0%). Patients were treated with an organism-specific intravenous antibiotic regime for a median of 6 weeks, followed by oral antibiotics for a median duration of 6 months. The Kaplan-Meier survivor estimate for revision for PJI was 57% (95%CI: 28-78%) at five years, and survivor estimate for all cause revision 52% (95%CI: 25-74%).The median Oxford Knee Score for patients with a viable implant at final follow-up was 45 points (range 39-46). CONCLUSION Early, acute PJI after UKR is rare. DAIR had a moderate success rate, with infection-free survivorship of 57% at 5 years. Those successfully treated with DAIR had excellent functional outcome and implant survival.

Abstract
Introduction Diluted Betadine (Purdue Pharma, Stamford, Conn) irrigation following primary total joint arthroplasty (pTJA) may reduce the risk of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). A recent in vitro study found a minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 0.63% Povidone-iodine (Betadine) for several bacterial isolates. This study reports outcomes of patients undergoing TJA using 0.54% Betadine irrigation compared to a historical cohort using 0.3% Betadine irrigation. Methods A retrospective chart review of patients who underwent pTJA from September 2017 to December 2020. 0.3% Betadine was used in a historical cohort and 0.54% Betadine in the experimental group. Patient demographics, intra-operative data, all-cause revision, and infection data were collected for the three-month post-operative period. Outcome frequencies between groups were compared using Fisher-Exact tests. Results Six hundred sixty-one patients underwent pTJA: 308 total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and 353 total hip arthroplasty (THA). 0.3% Betadine group had seven (3.1%) revisions: five (2.2%) underwent a revision for non-infectious reasons, and two (0.9%) for PJI. 0.54% Betadine group had 11 (2.5%) revisions: nine (2.1%) underwent revision for non-infectious reasons, two (0.4%) for PJI. No significant difference was found for rates of all-cause revision or infection between groups. No adverse intra-operative events occurred with the higher Betadine concentration. Conclusion This study demonstrated no difference in rates of all-cause revision or PJI when using 0.3% Betadine versus 0.54% Betadine for irrigation following pTJA. No adverse intraoperative events occurred with 0.54% Betadine irrigation. Given recent in vitro data supporting increased Betadine MIC, our results showed safety and non-inferiority with respect to three-month post-operative complication rates. Further investigation through a large powered randomized controlled study is needed to determine the optimal Betadine irrigation concentration for PJI prevention is required.

Abstract
Background Commercially available irrigation solutions are used to reduce bacterial contamination and prevent surgical site infections. However, the effect of these solutions on the healing capacity of tissue has not been well-established. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 5 commercially available irrigation solutions on host tissue in a murine model. Methods There were 5 treatment groups: bacitracin, Clorpactin, Irrisept, Prontosan, Bactisure, and normal saline control. The irrigation solutions were applied to the wound for 30 seconds or 1 minute, as per the manufacturer's instructions, and then washed with normal saline. Mice were sacrificed at 3 days and 10 days. The tissue was examined histologically for inflammation, edema, granulation tissue formation, and re-epithelialization. Granulation tissue formation and re-epithelialization were surrogates for effective wound healing. Results All of the irrigation solutions had negative effects on host tissue in the acute phase. The inflammation and edema were improved in the later phase (10 days). Recovery and healing of the open wounds were observed for all groups at 10 days. The antiseptic irrigation solutions had similar cytotoxic effects on host tissue at 3 days and did not have delayed or compromised wound healing at 10 days when compared to normal saline control. Conclusions Single short-duration use of these commercially available antiseptic irrigation solutions appears to be safe in an uninfected wound. Data from this study will provide surgeons with useful information regarding the safety of using antiseptic wound irrigation solutions intraoperatively for prevention of surgical site infections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Focus on reviewing a vigorous research effort to improve the safety profile of vancomycin powder (VP) and its optimal dose in reducing periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is the need of the hour. This systematic review and meta-analysis attempt to explore the ongoing use of VP and VP + povidone iodine (PI) lavage to prevent PJI of hip/knee arthroplasties and highlights its challenges among the orthopedic community about the existence of the major organism and its frequency in total joint arthroplasty (TJA) patients. METHODS We searched PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE databases regarding the outcomes of vancomycin powder (VP) and VP + povidone iodine (PI) combination in preventing periprosthetic joint infection of hip and knee arthroplasties. RESULTS In 5 of 7 studies, the combination of vancomycin powder (VP) and povidone iodine (PI) lavage have shown a lower risk of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in acute and high-risk hip and knee arthroplasties patients, with less or without serious adverse events and readmissions; while four of seven studies using VP-only found increasing rates of PJI in primary total knee arthroplasty and partial hip replacement in elderly patients with comorbidities, and significantly causes aseptic wound complications compared to the control group. CONCLUSIONS Intra-articular vancomycin powder (VP) and povidone iodine (PI) lavage showed a significant reduction of periprosthetic joint infection in primary and revision total joint arthroplasty. Before its widespread use in clinical settings, prospective randomized studies and, most importantly, its long-term efficacy and safety are recommended.

Abstract
Povidone-iodine is a common antiseptic demonstrating success in reducing infection rates in primary arthroplasty; however, recent data suggest that its use in revision arthroplasty may increase infection rates. This study evaluated the effect of povidone-iodine solution on antibiotic cement and investigated the connection between povidone-iodine and increased infection rates in revision arthroplasty. Sixty antibiotic cement samples (ACSs) were formed using gentamicin-impregnated cement. The ACSs were divided into three groups: group A (n=20) was subject to a 3-minute povidone-iodine soak followed by a saline rinse; group B (n=20) underwent a 3-minute saline soak; and group C (n=20) underwent only a saline rinse. The antimicrobial activity of the samples was tested using a Kirby-Bauer-like assay using Staphylococcus epidermidis. The zone of inhibition (ZOI) was measured every 24 hours for 7 days. All groups possessed the greatest antimicrobial activity at 24 hours. Group C displayed a mass-corrected ZOI of 395.2 mm/g, which was statistically greater than the group B ZOI (313.2 mm/g, P<.05) but not the group A ZOI (346.5 mm/g, P>.05). All groups demonstrated a decrease in antimicrobial activity at 48 through 96 hours, with no significant difference at any time point. Prolonged soaking of antibiotic cement in a povidone-iodine or saline solution results in elution of the antibiotic into the irrigation solution, blunting initial antibiotic concentration. When using antibiotic cement, antiseptic soaks or irrigation should be focused prior to cementation. [Orthopedics. 2024;47(1):10-14.].

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY & TRAUMATOLOGY : ORTHOPEDIE TRAUMATOLOGIE 2023; 33:3379-3385. [PMID: 37133753 DOI: 10.1007/s00590-023-03557-3] [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: 07/06/2022] [Accepted: 04/23/2023] [Indexed: 05/04/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Infection after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) impacts the patient, surgeon, and healthcare system significantly. Surgeons routinely use antibiotic-loaded bone cement (ALBC) in attempts to mitigate infection; however, little evidence supports the efficacy of ALBC in reducing infection rates compared to non-antibiotic-loaded bone cement (non-ALBC) in primary TKA. Our study compares infection rates of patients undergoing TKA with ALBC to those with non-ALBC to assess its efficacy in primary TKA. METHODS A retrospective review of all primary, elective, cemented TKA patients over the age of 18 between 2011 and 2020 was conducted at an orthopedic specialty hospital. Patients were stratified into two cohorts based on cement type: ALBC (loaded with gentamicin or tobramycin) or non-ALBC. Baseline characteristics and infection rates determined by MSIS criteria were collected. Multilinear and multivariate logistic regressions were performed to limit significant differences in demographics. Independent samples t test and chi-squared test were used to compare means and proportions, respectively, between the two cohorts. RESULTS In total, 9366 patients were included in this study, 7980 (85.2%) of whom received non-ALBC and 1386 (14.8%) of whom received ALBC. There were significant differences in five of the six demographic variables analyzed; patients with higher Body Mass Index (33.40 ± 6.27 vs. 32.09 ± 6.21; kg/m2) and Charlson Comorbidity Index values (4.51 ± 2.15 vs. 4.04 ± 1.92) were more likely to receive ALBC. The infection rate in the non-ALBC was 0.8% (63/7,980), while the rate in the ALBC was 0.5% (7/1,386). After adjusting for confounders, the difference in rates was not significant between the two groups (OR [95% CI]: 1.53 [0.69-3.38], p = 0.298). Furthermore, a sub-analysis comparing the infection rates within various demographic categories also showed no significant differences between the two groups. CONCLUSION Compared to non-ALBC, the overall infection rate in primary TKA was slightly lower when using ALBC; however, the difference was not statistically significant. When stratifying by comorbidity, use of ALBC still showed no statistical significance in reducing the risk of periprosthetic joint infection. Therefore, the advantage of antibiotics in bone cement to prevent infection in primary TKA is not yet elucidated. Further prospective, multicenter studies regarding the clinical benefits of antibiotic use in bone cement for primary TKA are warranted.

Abstract
Although the overall rate of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is low, it remains a major complication associated with total joint arthroplasty (TJA). PJI represents a significant economic burden to the health care system that is projected to increase commensurate with increasing joint replacement volumes. This review provides a rank-ordered list of cost-effective strategies that are performable intraoperatively and have data supporting their efficacy at preventing PJI after TJA. This study may be helpful in assisting surgeons, ambulatory surgery center owners, and hospital acquisition committees to make reasonable and cost-conscious decisions in the face of changing reimbursement.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the chondrotoxic effects of intra-articular use of TXA 20 mg/kg and/or 0.35% PVPI on knee joint cartilage in an experimental model of rabbits. METHODS Forty-four male New Zealand adult rabbits were randomly assigned to four groups (control, tranexamic acid (TXA), povidone-iodine (PVPI), and PVPI + TXA). The knee joint cartilage was accessed through an arthrotomy and exposed to physiological saline SF 0.9% (control group), TXA, PVPI, and PVPI followed by TXA. Sixty days after surgical procedure, the animals were sacrificed and osteochondral specimens of the distal femur were obtained. Histological sections of cartilage from this area were stained with hematoxylin/eosin and toluidine blue. The following cartilage parameters were evaluated by the Mankin histological/histochemical grading system: structure, cellularity, glycosaminoglycan content in the extracellular matrix, and integrity of the tidemark. RESULTS The isolated use of PVPI causes statistically significant changes in cartilage cellularity (p-value = 0.005) and decrease glycosaminoglycan content (p = 0.001), whereas the isolated use of TXA decreased significantly the glycosaminoglycan content (p = 0.031). The sequential use of PVPI + TXA causes more pronounced alterations in the structure (p = 0.039) and cellularity (p = 0.002) and decreased content of glycosaminoglycans (p < 0.001) all with statistical significance. CONCLUSION Data suggest that intra-articular use of tranexamic acid 20 mg/kg and intraoperative lavage with 0.35% povidone-iodine solution for three min are toxic to the articular cartilage of the knee in an experimental in vivo study in rabbits.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study assessed the distribution characteristics of pathogens isolated from cases of orthopedic infections and focused on the antimicrobial susceptibility of the main pathogens. METHODS This retrospective study involved patients with orthopedic infection in a tertiary medical center located in Shanghai, China, from 2008 to 2021.Pathogen information and the basic information of patients were identified from clinical microbiology laboratory data and the institutional medical record system. RESULTS In total, the pathogen information of 2821 patients were enrolled in the study. S. aureus (37.71%) was the main causative pathogen responsible for orthopedic infection. Gender, pathogens distribution and polymicrobial infection rates were significantly different (P < 0.05) among patients with different orthopedic infection diseases.The trends in the distribution of pathogens in the total cohort, implant-related infection group (Group A), non-implant-related infection group (Group B), and the sub-group of cases with arthroplasty showed significant linear changes over time. And the polymicrobial infection rates of the total cohort (from 17.17% to 11.00%), Group B(from 24.35% to 14.47%), and the sub-group of cases with internal fixation (from 10.58% to 4.87%) decreased significantly. The antimicrobial susceptibility showed changing trends with time for some main pathogens, especially for S.aureus and Enterobacter spp. CONCLUSIONS Our research indicated that the pathogen distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility in orthopedic infections changed over time. And the distribution of pathogens varied significantly among different types of orthopedic infectious diseases. These findings may serve as a reference for prophylaxis and empirical treatment strategies of orthopedic infection.

Abstract
PURPOSE Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a serious complication with total joint arthroplasty (TJA), that necessitates reoperation. Pre-closure irrigation with dilute povidone-iodine (PI) is among the preventive measures, but its efficiency is still controversial. As a result, the focus of this systematic review and meta-analysis is on the effect of dilute PI wound irrigation in the prevention of PJI following TJA. METHODS We systematically reviewed and analyzed articles that compared PI with other agents in terms of PJI rate after TJA, searching Medline, Scopus, Web of science, and Cochrane databases. A number of 13 papers including 63,950 patients in total, were finally considered in qualitative and quantitative assessments. We have also further assessed review articles. RESULTS In comparison with normal saline (NS), PI reduced post-operative infection rate (OR: 0.44; CI 95%: 0.34-0.56). However, there was no difference between PI and chlorhexidine (CHG) (OR: 1.61; CI 95%: 0.83-3.09)) or undetermined comparators (OR: 1.08; CI 95%: 0.67-1.76). CONCLUSION PI irrigation seems an efficient preventive measure for post-operative PJI and would seem to be the most feasible for TJA protocol.

Hydrogen Peroxide, Povidone-Iodine and Chlorhexidine Fail to Eradicate Staphylococcus aureus Biofilm from Infected Implant Materials. Life (Basel) 2023; 13:1230.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide, povidone-iodine, and chlorhexidine are antiseptics that are commonly added to irrigants to either prevent or treat infection. There are little clinical data available that demonstrate efficacy of adding antiseptics to irrigants in the treatment of periprosthetic joint infection after biofilm establishment. The objective of the study was to assess the bactericidal activity of the antiseptics on S. aureus planktonic and biofilm. For planktonic irrigation, S. aureus was exposed to different concentrations of antiseptics. S. aureus biofilm was developed by submerging a Kirschner wire into normalized bacteria and allowing it to grow for forty-eight hours. The Kirschner wire was then treated with irrigation solutions and plated for CFU analysis. Hydrogen peroxide, povidone-iodine, and chlorhexidine were bactericidal against planktonic bacteria with over a 3 log reduction (p < 0.0001). Unlike cefazolin, the antiseptics were not bactericidal (less than 3 log reduction) against biofilm bacteria but did have a statistical reduction in biofilm as compared to the initial time point (p < 0.0001). As compared to cefazolin treatment alone, the addition of hydrogen peroxide or povidone-iodine to cefazolin treatment only additionally reduced the biofilm burden by less than 1 log. The antiseptics demonstrated bactericidal properties with planktonic S. aureus; however, when used to irrigate S. aureus biofilms, these antiseptics were unable to decrease biofilm mass below a 3 log reduction, suggesting that S. aureus biofilm has a tolerance to antiseptics. This information should be considered when considering antibiotic tolerance in established S. aureus biofilm treatment.

Abstract
There is controversial clinical evidence regarding the added antibacterial benefit of locally administering antiseptic solutions or antibiotics to the infected joint space. The objectives of this in vitro study were to test the efficacy of povidone-iodine (PVP-I) and vancomycin in treating premature and developed Staphylococcus aureus biofilms grown on titanium implant surfaces. PVP-I and vancomycin were used to treat immature and developed biofilms formed by two clinical strains of S. aureus (BP043-MRSA, PB011-MSSA). S. aureus strains were grown as immature (3 h-old) or developed (24 h-old) biofilm. These biofilms were grown on titanium plasma sprayed discs. The treatment regimens tested were: 0.8% PVP-I, 500 μg/ml vancomycin as well as a combination of vancomycin and PVP-I. PVP-I was tested at 3 min, as per current clinical practice, versus 1 min treatment times. In addition, the cytotoxicity of the PVP-I and vancomycin was tested using fresh skeletal muscle tissue cores harvested from the rat's abdominal muscles using alamarBlue assay. The combination of PVP-I (3 min) and vancomycin (24 h.) showed synergistic interaction and the best efficacy against immature biofilms formed by both clinical strains. This degree of eradication was statistically significant compared to the untreated control, p < .0001. However, this combination therapy had limited efficiency against developed biofilms. Also, PVP-I alone was more effective when exposure time was 3 min instead of 1 min against immature biofilm for MRSA, p = .02, and MSSA, p = .01. PVP-I and vancomycin were not effective against developed biofilm regardless of exposure time. Also, combining PVP-I and vancomycin was not cytotoxic to muscle tissue. Combining PVP-I with vancomycin is superior in reducing viable S. aureus cells in immature biofilms grown on titanium surface without causing significant cytotoxicity to muscle tissue. Exposure times and biofilm maturity play a role in dictating the efficacy of using local antiseptics and antibiotics to treat biofilms on implant surfaces.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION One of the most important challenges faced by orthopedic surgeons is periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). PJI is a common cause for total joint arthroplasty failure with an incidence of 0.3-1.9%. PJI can be devastating for the patient and extremely costly for the healthcare system. There is concern that a major cause of PJI is intra-operative colonization and recent studies have shown a decrease in PJI with the use of dilute povidone-iodine (Betadine®, Avrio Health L.P, Stamford, CT) irrigation prior to wound closure. This study presents our experience with the use of dilute Betadine® irrigation prior to wound closure and its effect on our post-operative hip and knee arthroplasty acute infection rate. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective chart review performed at our hospital looking at PJI amongst patients who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA) between 2013 and 2017 comparing different irrigation methods (n = 3232). The study group (n = 1207) underwent irrigation prior to wound closure with dilute Betadine for 3 min and the control group (n = 1511) underwent irrigation using normal saline (NS). RESULTS Using a logistic regression model where the following variables were adjusted for; ASA, age, sex, foley insertion, surgical duration and diabetes mellitus status a statistical significant reduction was seen in any infection (OR 0.45 [0.22; 0.89], p value < 0.05) and SSI (OR 0.30 [0.13; 0.70], p value 0.01) with the Betadine group. No significant reduction was seen with deep infections with the Betadine group compared to the NS group. CONCLUSION PJI is a devastating complication following total joint arthroplasty and we found Betadine compared to NS irrigation provides an inexpensive and simple method to lower any PJI and more specifically SSI in THA and TKA.

Abstract
Tranexamic acid (TXA) effectively reduces blood loss and transfusion risk during total joint arthroplasty. Additionally, intraoperative irrigation with various antiseptic solutions is often utilized for the management and prevention of surgical site infection. However, interactions between various antiseptic solutions and TXA have not been investigated. The purpose of this in vitro study is to evaluate the stability of TXA in the presence of common orthopedic antiseptic solutions. Five antiseptic solutions-0.1% chlorhexidine (CHX) gluconate, 10% povidone-iodine (BTD), 0.5% sodium hypochlorite (Dakin's), 3% hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ), and 1.5% H2 O2 -and a 0.9% normal saline (NS) control were obtained. A stock 100 mg/ml TXA solution was diluted in each antiseptic solution to a concentration of 10.0 mg/ml to generate reference standard and stability samples. TXA stability in each solution was measured using high performance liquid chromatography at t = 0 and t = 120 min and reported as mean percent of theoretical concentration (MPT) with associated relative standard deviation (RSD). All experiments were performed in triplicate at room temperature. At t = 0 min, TXA remained stable when mixed with 0.9% NS, 0.1% CHX, 10% BTD, 3% H2 O2 , and 1.5% H2 O2 (MPT range: 102.0%-105.0%, RSD range: 0.80%-2.92%). Only 0.5% Dakin's led to significant degradation of TXA at t = 0 min (MPT: 14.3%, RSD:1.28%). At t = 120 min, TXA stability persisted for all compounds except Dakin's 0.5% (MPT: 18.4%, RSD: 28.7%). TXA efficacy may be significantly diminished when 0.5% Dakin's is used as an intraoperative irrigation solution. CHX, BTD, and H2 O2 do not degrade TXA.

[PMID: 37034245 PMCID: PMC10074992 DOI: 10.1016/j.sopen.2023.03.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2022] [Revised: 03/09/2023] [Accepted: 03/11/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The occurrence of surgical site infections (SSIs) is associated with increased risk of mortality, development of other infections, and the need for reintervention, posing a significant health burden. The aim of this review was to examine the current data and guidelines around the use of antiseptic povidone‑iodine (PVP-I) for the prevention of SSIs at each stage of surgical intervention. Methods A literature search for selected key words was performed using PubMed. Additional papers were identified based on author expertise. Results Scientific evidence demonstrates that PVP-I can be used at every stage of surgical intervention: preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative. PVP-I is one of the most widely used antiseptics on healthy skin and mucous membranes for preoperative surgical site preparation and is associated with a low SSI rate. For intraoperative irrigation, aqueous PVP-I is the recommended agent and has been demonstrated to decrease SSIs in a range of surgical settings, and for postoperative wound healing, there is a growing body of evidence to support the use of PVP-I. Conclusions There is a need for more stringent study designs in clinical trials to enable meaningful comparisons between antiseptic agents, particularly for preoperative skin preparation. The use of a single agent (PVP-I) at each stage of surgical intervention could potentially provide advantages, including economic benefits, over agents that can only be used at discrete stages of the surgical procedure. Key message Evidence supports the use of PVP-I at all stages of surgical intervention, from preoperative measures (including skin preparation, preoperative washing, and nasal decolonization) to intraoperative irrigation, through to postoperative wound management. However, there is a need for more stringent study designs in clinical trials to enable meaningful comparisons between antiseptic agents, particularly for preoperative skin preparation.

Prevention Techniques Have Had Minimal Impact on the Population Rate of Prosthetic Joint Infection for Primary Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty: A National Database Study. J Arthroplasty 2023; 38:1131-1140. [PMID: 36858132 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2023.02.059] [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: 11/01/2022] [Revised: 02/17/2023] [Accepted: 02/21/2023] [Indexed: 03/03/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies over the years have offered modalities that may greatly decrease the rate of periprosthetic joint infection when implemented. As a result, one would expect a drastic decrease in infection rate among the implementing population with its widespread use. The purpose of this study was to assess whether there exists a decrease in infection rate over time, after accounting for available confounding variables, within a large national database. METHODS A large national database from 2005 to 2019 was queried for primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). In total, 221,416 THAs and 354,049 TKAs were performed over the study period. Differences in 30-day infection rate were assessed with time and available preoperative risk factors using multinominal logistic regressions. RESULTS Rate of infection overall trended downward for both THA and TKA. After accounting for confounding variables, odds of THA infection marginally decreased over time (odds ratio 0.968 [0.952-0.985], P < .0001), while the odds of a TKA infection marginally increased with time (odds ratio 1.037 [1.020-1.054], P < .0001). CONCLUSION Individual peer-reviewed publications have presented infection control modalities demonstrating dramatic decreases in infection rate while analysis at a population level shows almost no changes in infection rate over a 15-year time period. This study supports continued investigation for influential modalities in preventing periprosthetic joint infection and care in patient selection for primary hip and knee arthroplasty.

A Randomized Controlled Trial to Determine the Safety of the Topical Use of Vancomycin Powder in Preventing Postoperative Infections in Total Knee Arthroplasty, as Compared With Standard Postoperative Antibiotics. J Arthroplasty 2023:S0883-5403(23)00060-8. [PMID: 36736635 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2023.01.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2022] [Revised: 01/22/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The demand for total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) is expected to rise in the coming decades, increasing the burden of periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs). The use of intrawound vancomycin powder (VP) has proven to be effective in reducing the incidence of PJIs after spinal surgery. That said, its effectiveness in TKA remains unclear. This trial aims to examine the efficacy of intrawound vancomycin powder first versus standard postoperative antibiotics in preventing PJIs after TKA. METHODS This study was a double-blinded, noninferiority, randomized controlled trial. All participants received standard preoperative intravenous (IV) antibiotics (Cefazolin/Vancomycin) within 60 minutes of skin incision. Patients in the treatment group received 1 gram of VP applied intraoperatively by the orthopedic surgeon (500 mg directly on the prosthesis, 500 mg above the closed joint capsule). These patients did not receive postoperative antibiotics. Patients in the control group received standard postoperative IV antibiotics. The primary outcome was the incidence of acute surgical site infection within 42 days of procedure. RESULTS There were 80 patients randomized to the treatment group and 85 patients randomized to the control. Groups were matched with respect to baseline characteristics, including average age (66 versus 64), BMI (35.7 versus 33.4), and diabetics (16 versus 13). The trial was halted at 1 year as a significantly greater proportion (P = .03) of patients in the treatment group (n = 3, 3.75%) were diagnosed with PJIs compared to the control (n = 0). CONCLUSION Our trial demonstrated the intrawound application of VP to be inferior to standard postoperative IV antibiotics in reducing the incidence of PJIs after TKA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Topical agents are sometimes applied to surgical wounds after closure; these may include antiseptics or antibiotics. Minimal research has been undertaken to investigate the effect of topical regimens on the tensile strength of suture materials. AIM To investigate the effect of four commonly used wound care regimens on the tensile strength of suture materials. METHODS The failure load of 9 different suture materials was tested using the Instron Electroplus E3000 tensile testing machine (Instron Corporation, Norwood, Massachusetts). Tensile strength was represented as the failure load, measured in Newtons (N), and defined as the maximal load that could be applied across the suture prior to failure. Each suture was tested dry and after immersion in one of 4 products for 7 days and tested on day 7. The immersion agents tested were: sodium chloride 0.9%, MicroSafe® (Sonoma Pharmaceuticals, Petaluma, CA), Aqueous Povidone-iodine 10% solution (Betadine-Mundipharma), and Fucidin ointment. RESULTS Sodium chloride 0.9%, MicroSafe®, Aqueous Povidone-iodine 10%, and Fucidin seem to increase the failure load of most absorbable and non-absorbable sutures. However, the failure load of Polyglactin 910 suture (Surgilactin, coated, violet-Ethicon) is reduced by long-term exposure to either sodium chloride 0.9% or MicroSafe®, while the failure load of the Polydioxanone suture (PDS Plus-Ethicon) is reduced by long-term exposure to MicroSafe® only. CONCLUSION In our experiment, the commonly used wound care products have been shown to alter the tensile strength of suture materials. Further human studies are required to ascertain the clinical validity and applicability of our findings.

Abstract
Management of intraoperative contamination of a custom total temporomandibular joint prosthesis has not been reported in the literature. As this complication is rare, it can be unsettling for the surgeon. Improper management may lead to a complicated treatment course and financial consequences. Prevention is the primary strategy for avoidance and appropriate management is dependent on many variables. The purpose of this report is to identify a unique complication associated with placement of a custom temporomandibular joint prosthesis and offer an algorithm for management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report the outcomes and cost-benefit analysis of preclosure povidone-iodine lavage (PrePIL) used to reduce the risk of infection following total hip replacement (THR) surgery. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. ANIMALS One thousand six hundred ninety-nine dogs, 17 cats. METHODS The medical records of 2213 consecutive THR cases were reviewed to determine the incidence of infection. The last 102 were treated with PrePIL using a commercially sourced 0.035% povidone-iodine solution. Postoperative infection rates were compared. A cost-benefit analysis was used to calculate if a PrePIL protocol is economically feasible. RESULTS Twenty-one THRs out of 2111 (0.99%) that did not have PrePIL developed infection. Infection occurred in none of the 102 PrePIL cases. Cost analysis revealed a PrePIL break-even cost at $49.74 and a break-even infection rate of 0.949%. No complications were identified related to the use of PrePIL. CONCLUSION Preclosure povidone-iodine lavage appeared to be efficacious in lowering THR infection rates, and it appeared to be safe for this use based on our 102 consecutive cases. The cost of the PrePIL was minimal compared to the overall cost to resolve THR infection and the potential effect on hip function prognosis. The math formulas developed can be used by surgeons to calculate cost effectiveness and break-even cost based on their THR infection rate, and to compare to the cost of a THR revision and infection resolution. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE At current costs, PrePIL can be used in 2415 THR cases at a similar cost of a single revision surgery and resolution of a periprosthetic infection.

Abstract
Purpose To determine the effectiveness of using antibiotic lavage in preventing postoperative infections in total knee replacement (TKR) patients. Methods Data on all patients who underwent TKR, either primary or secondary, during the period from May 2015 to April 2019 were collected. Many factors (both patient-related and surgery-related) that can increase the risk of surgical site infection (SSI) were taken into consideration to eliminate confounding factors. Results A total of 685 patients were identified; out of those, 232 patients received intraoperative antibiotic lavage and 453 did not. We noted that out of all 13 patients who developed SSI, only one patient (7.7%) had received antibiotic lavage, while the other 12 (92.3%) patients did not receive antibiotic lavage. However, the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.078). Conclusion Using intraoperative vancomycin lavage was associated with a decrease in the incidence of SSI post-TKR, but the difference was not statistically significant. However, more studies are needed in this area.

Abstract
Background Intraoperative chlorhexidine irrigation could be a valuable additive to systemic antibiotics to prevent infections after total joint arthroplasties. However, it may cause cytotoxicity and impair wound healing. This study evaluates the incidence of infection and wound leakage before and after the introduction of intraoperative chlorhexidine lavage. Methods All 4453 patients receiving a primary hip or knee prosthesis between 2007 and 2013 in our hospital were retrospectively included. They all underwent intraoperative lavage before wound closure. Initially, wound irrigation with 0.9% NaCl was standard care (n = 2271). In 2008, additional irrigation with a chlorhexidine-cetrimide (CC) solution was gradually introduced (n = 2182). Data on the incidence of prosthetic joint infections and wound leakage, as well as relevant baseline and surgical characteristics, were derived from medical charts. Chi-square analysis was used to compare the incidence of infection and wound leakage between patients with and without CC irrigation. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess robustness of these effects by adjusting for potential confounders. Results The prosthetic infection rate was 2.2% in the group without CC irrigation vs 1.3% in the group with CC irrigation (P = .021). Wound leakage occurred in 15.6% of the group without CC irrigation and in 18.8% of the group with CC irrigation (P = .004). However, multivariable analyses showed that both findings were likely due to confounding variables, rather than by the change in intraoperative CC irrigation. Conclusions Intraoperative wound irrigation using a CC solution does not seem to affect the risk of prosthetic joint infection or wound leakage. Observational data easily yield misleading results, so prospective randomized studies are needed to verify causal inference. Level of Evidence Level III-uncontrolled before and after the study.

Abstract
Introducción: Una de las medidas profilácticas para disminuir la incidencia de infecciones periprotésicas es el lavado con povidona yodada diluida, un agente con acción bactericida contra distintos microorganismos. El propósito de este estudio fue evaluar la incidencia de infecciones periprotésicas dentro de los primeros 90 días, en pacientes a quienes se les realizó un lavado con povidona yodada luego de implantar los componentes protésicos y antes del cierre de la herida.
Materiales y Métodos: Se llevó a cabo un análisis retrospectivo comparativo de pacientes sometidos a artroplastias primarias de cadera y rodilla por artrosis y se comparó la incidencia de infecciones periprotésicas dentro de los primeros 90 días posoperatorios, entre pacientes que fueron operados antes de la introducción del lavado con povidona yodada y luego con su uso rutinario.
Resultados: Se realizaron 643 (47,60%) reemplazos de rodilla y 708 (52,40%) reemplazos de cadera. Al comparar la incidencia de infecciones periprotésicas entre ambos grupos, no se observaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas (0,92% vs. 0,21%; p = 0,11). Sin embargo, se incrementó el riesgo de infección en los primeros 90 días posteriores a la cirugía (OR = 4,5; IC95% 0,56-36,19) cuando no se utilizóla solución.
Conclusiones: El riesgo de desarrollar infecciones periprotésicas se incrementó 4,5 veces al realizar una artroplastia sin irrigación con povidona yodada diluida. Sin embargo, no se pudo demostrar que esto fuese estadísticamente significativo.

Abstract
Topical povidone-iodine, chlorhexidine, bacitracin, and vancomycin are commonly used antiseptic and antimicrobial agents to reduce risk and treat surgical site infections in numerous orthopedic procedures. Chondrocytes potentially may be exposed to these agents during operative procedures. The impact of these topical agents on chondrocyte viability is unclear. The goal of this study is to determine human chondrocyte viability ex vivo after exposure to commonly used concentrations of these topical antiseptic and antimicrobial agents. Human osteochondral plugs were harvested from the knee joint of a human decedent within 36 hours of death. Individual human osteochondral plugs were exposed to normal saline as a control; a range of concentrations of povidone-iodine (0.25%, 0.5%, and 1%), chlorhexidine (0.01% and 0.5%), and bacitracin (10,000 units/L, 50,000 units/L, and 100,000 units/L) for 1-minute lavage; or a 48-hour soak in vancomycin (0.16 mg/mL, 0.4 mg/mL, and 1.0 mg/mL) with nutrient media. Chondrocyte viability was evaluated with a live/dead viability assay at 0, 2, 4, and 6 days after exposure to bacitracin at 0, 3, and 6 days). Control subjects showed greater than 70% viability at all time points. Povidone-iodine, 0.5% chlorhexidine, and vancomycin showed significant cytotoxicity, with viability dropping to less than 40% by day 6. Chondrocytes exposed to 0.01% chlorhexidine maintained viability. Chondrocytes exposed to bacitracin showed viability until day 3, when there was a large drop in viability. Commonly used topical concentrations of povidone-iodine, vancomycin, and bacitracin are toxic to human chondrocytes ex vivo. A low concentration of chlorhexidine appears safe. Caution should be used when articular cartilage may be exposed to these agents during surgery. [Orthopedics. 2022;45(5):e263-e268.].

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite advancements in the field of adult reconstruction, prosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains a common and devastating complication of total joint arthroplasty. Eradication of these infections can often prove difficult, and they remain a source of considerable morbidity and mortality. This clinical review paper will focus on some of the more commonly used irrigation solutions; povidone-iodine (PI), chlorhexidine (CHG), acetic acid (AA), hydrogen peroxide (HP), antibiotic irrigations, taurolidine, and polyhexanide-betaine (PB). SUMMARY OF THE EVIDENCE Significant research has been performed on the prevention of PJI, including use of intraoperative joint irrigation solutions. Several solutions have been theorized to aid in infection prevention, but no evidence-based practice guidelines in this area of orthopaedics have been established. There is a paucity of prospective randomized control trials to compare the efficacy of these joint irrigation solutions. CONCLUSIONS The authors present a review regarding seven major categories of commonly used intraoperative joint irrigation solutions. The current literature fails to demonstrate a clear consensus for a preferred solution and concentration for povidone-iodine, chlorhexidine, hydrogen peroxide, acetic acid, antibiotic irrigations, taurolidine, and polyhexanide-betaine. Prospective, randomized control trials directly comparing these different irrigation solutions are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevention and treatment of periprosthetic joint infection is of utmost importance to orthopedic surgeons. Irrigation solutions have become a popular additive to the prevention and treatment armamentarium. METHODS This symposium summarizes the mechanism of action, basic science, and clinical research to date on the use of irrigation solutions. The four most commonly used irrigation solutions, povidone iodine, chlorhexidine, hydrogen peroxide, and acetic acid, are discussed. In addition, the role of antibiotic powers is reviewed. RESULTS Each solution has its risks and benefits that must be weighed by the surgeon. There is no clear irrigation solution that is superior. The role of additive antibiotic powder (vancomycin) remains controversial. CONCLUSION More rigorous prospective clinical trials are needed to determine the optimal irrigation solution for the prevention and treatment of periprosthetic joint infection.

[PMID: 35913384 PMCID: PMC9483079 DOI: 10.1111/os.13422] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2021] [Revised: 06/22/2022] [Accepted: 06/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Surgical site infection is a common complication of surgery, especially in orthopedics. Povidone‐Iodine (PI) is one of the oldest and most commonly used disinfectants in surgery. However, the toxicity and antimicrobial effect of PI have not been discussed. In addition, no study has explored the optimum PI concentration for sterilization and tissue healing. This study explores the germicidal efficacy of different concentrations PI, in addition, the toxicity and antibacterial effects of PI irrigation in fracture surgery are also discussed. Methods Methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) were used to evaluate the germicidal efficacy of PI in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, the effects of PI on bacterial growth were analyzed. 2.5%, 1.25%, 0.5%, 0.25%, 0.05%, 0.025%, 0.005%, 0.0025% and 0% PI was added into the bacterial suspension, besides, the bacterial algebra and growth rate were tested. Meanwhile, the fluorescence intensity of viable bacteria was also tested to evaluate the effects of PI on bacterial survival. In vivo, first, femoral fracture with wound infection rat models were established. Second, thyroid gland sections, blood thyroxine, urinary iodine, wound local skin, muscle and bone tissue sections, serum creatinine and alanine aminotransferase, serum and bone local tissue interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), interleukin‐10 (IL‐10), bone morphogenetic protein (BMP‐2), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and transforming growth factor (TGF‐β1) were detected in rat femoral shaft fracture model with 5%, 2.5%, 0.5%, 0.05%, and 0% PI irrigation. Third, tissue bacteria culture was tested in rat femoral fracture with wound infection model with different concentrations PI irrigation. Results In vitro, 2.5%, 1.25%, 0.5% PI inhibited the growth of bacteria. 1.25%, 0.5% PI killed all the bacteria, while 0.25%, 0.05% PI had not killed bacteria after about 10 min. The iodine absorption of 5%, 2.5%, 0.5% PI irrigation did not cause thyroid injury. The 5%, 2.5%, 0.5% PI irrigation did not make serum creatinine and alanine aminotransferase abnormal and can remove bacteria from wounds. The 0.5%, 2.5% PI irrigation can promote tissue healing and increase BMP‐2, VEGF, TGF‐β1, IL‐10, in addition, decrease IL‐6. 5% PI irrigation would inhibit tissue healing, and increase IL‐6, decrease BMP‐2, VEGF, TGF‐β1, IL‐10. Conclusions Povidone‐Iodine was a widely used disinfectant and 2.5%, 1.25% and 0.5% PI could effectively kill bacteria. Five percent and lower concentration PI irrigation was safe and could not cause thyroid, kidney and liver damage. The 0.5% PI irrigation was beneficial for tissue healing but 5% PI irrigation was the opposite.

Chlorhexidine gluconate lavage during total joint arthroplasty may improve wound healing compared to dilute betadine. J Exp Orthop 2022; 9:67. [PMID: 35819733 PMCID: PMC9276865 DOI: 10.1186/s40634-022-00503-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2022] [Accepted: 06/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Intraoperative wound irrigation prior to closure during total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is an essential component of preventing infections and limiting health care system costs. While studies have shown the efficacy of dilute betadine in reducing infection risk, there remains concerns over its safety profile and theoretical inactivation by blood and serum. This study aims to compare infection and wound complications between chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) and betadine lavage during TJA. METHODS All primary TJA between 2019-2021 were analyzed at a single institution, and periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), wound drainage, 30 and 90-day emergency room (ER) readmission due to wound complications, aseptic loosening, and revision surgery rate were compared between patients undergoing intraoperative CHG versus betadine lavage prior to closure. Baseline demographics were controlled, and multivariate logistic regression was performed to compare complication rates. RESULTS A total of 410 TJA, including 160 hip and 250 knee arthroplasties were included. Compared to the dilute betadine cohort, all TJA patients undergoing CHG lavage had a statistically significant lower 30 and 90-day emergency room readmission rate due to wound complications. Both hip and knee arthroplasty patients with CHG had a statistically significant lower rate of postoperative superficial drainage and dressing saturation at clinic follow-up, but only knee arthroplasty patients had significant decreased readmission rate for incisional wound vacuum placement and close inpatient monitoring of wound healing. Among all TJA, there was no significant association in the rate of PJI requiring return to the OR between groups. CONCLUSIONS Although betadine is cost-effective and has been shown to reduce PJI rates, there remains concerns in the literature over soft tissue toxicity and wound healing. This study suggests CHG may be as efficacious as dilute betadine in preventing PJI while also decreasing the risk of superficial drainage and wound complications needing unplanned ER visits during the acute postoperative period.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN A retrospective case-controlled study. OBJECTIVES To evaluate overall infection rate and adverse event after harvesting bone graft soaking and surgical wound irrigation by povidone iodine solution (PVI) in the minimally invasive instrumented spinal fusion surgery. In order to reduce the rate of surgical site infection in spinal surgery, surgical wound irrigation by povidone iodine solution has been well-established. However, the efficacy of autologous bone graft soaking by PVI has not been evaluated before. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study. 120 patients were enrolled in the PVI group and compared with 124 patients in the historical cohort. In the PVI group, the harvesting autologous bone graft was soaking and the surgical wound was also irrigated by diluted PVI solution. The outcome measures were overall infection rate, superficial wound infection and deep infection. In addition, the delayed union of the fusion mass was also evaluated through the radiograph evaluation. RESULTS Both groups shared similar patient demographics instead of body mass index. The use of PVI solution had decreased the overall infection rate (0% versus 4.03%, p = 0.026) and deep infection rate (0% versus 3.23%, p = 0.047). In addition, there was no delayed bone healing in the PVI group after autologous bone graft soaking. CONCLUSIONS In this study, we conclude that harvested autologous bone graft after PVI soaking in spinal fusion surgery can decrease the incidence of deep infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although patient factors have been associated with prosthetic joint infection (PJI) after primary total knee arthroplasty, there are insufficient data on the relationship of patient and technical factors with early PJI after aseptic revision. METHODS This is a retrospective study of 157 aseptic revisions performed by 2 surgeons at 1 academic center. A negative intraoperative culture during revision surgery was required for inclusion. Mean follow-up time was 3.8 years (standard deviation 2.8). PJI was defined by positive aspiration or draining wound, and an additional operation within 1 year of aseptic revision. Patient demographics, medical comorbidities, and technical factors were reviewed. Data points were evaluated with univariate and adjusted multivariate regression analyses. RESULTS The prevalence of PJI after aseptic revision was 9% (14/157). The most common organism was Staphylococcus aureus. Initial treatment included debridement and liner exchange (11) and antibiotic spacer (3). Two patients ultimately had an above-knee amputation. Univariate analysis showed a significant difference in preoperative anemia (P < .01), transfusion (P < .01), and diabetes (P = .05) between cohorts. There was no association among the length of surgery, use of a metaphyseal cone, or the number of components revised and PJI. Adjusted logistic regression demonstrated that preoperative anemia (P < .01) was a significant risk factor for PJI. CONCLUSION The prevalence of early PJI was similar to other studies in the literature. Anemia was an independent predictor of PJI, while technical factors did not have an association. Medical optimization of patients should be considered prior to revision surgery.

Abstract
Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes, formerly known as Propionibacterium acnes) is the major causative agent of prosthetic joint infections (PJI). Treatment of PJI with antibiotics is difficult due to antibiotic resistance and adverse side effects on patients’ health. Proper disinfection of the surgical site using a variety of povidone iodine formulations could prevent C. acnes infection. In the current study, the efficacy of the three povidone iodine (PVP-I) formulations, viz: PVP-I 10% dermic solution, PVP-I 5% alcoholic solution and PVP-I 4% scrub, was tested against C. acnes, in vitro, in the presence of interfering substances mimicking soiling conditions. C. acnes strain ATCC 6919 was used to test the bactericidal activity of the povidone iodine formulations according to the modified dilution-neutralization method described in French Norm EN standard 13727. A 3-log reduction in the bacterial cell count in 60 s was considered to be significant. The results showed that under experimental conditions, the three PVP-I formulations displayed bactericidal activity against the micro-organism, Cutibacterium acnes, and that the lowest concentration of povidone-iodine active against C. acnes was 0.4%. These results are encouraging as PVP-I offers a low-cost and efficient method of disinfection.

Abstract
The method of skin closure and post-operative wound management has always been important in orthopedic surgery and plays an even larger role now that surgical site infection (SSI) is a national healthcare metric for both surgeons and hospitals. Wound related issues remain some of the most feared complications following orthopedic trauma procedures and are associated with significant morbidity. In order to minimize the risk of surgical site complications, surgeons must be familiar with the physiology of wound healing as well as the patient and surgical factors affecting healing potential. The goal of all skin closure techniques is to promote rapid healing with acceptable cosmesis, all while minimizing risk of infection and dehiscence. Knowledge of the types of closure material, techniques of wound closure, surgical dressings, negative pressure wound therapy, and other local modalities is important to optimize wound healing. There is no consensus in the literature as to which closure method is superior but the available data can be used to make informed choices. Although often left to less experienced members of the surgical team, the process of wound closure and dressing the wound should not be an afterthought, and instead must be part of the surgical plan. Wounds that are in direct communication with bony fractures are particularly at risk due to local tissue trauma, resultant swelling, hematoma formation, and injured vasculature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antiseptic irrigation solutions are commonly used by arthroplasty surgeons to reduce intraoperative bacterial colonization with the goal of reducing postoperative infections in the setting of primary total joint arthroplasty. Currently, the minimum irrigation time to eliminate common microbes implicated in periprosthetic joint infection is unknown. We sought to determine the minimum effective exposure time required to prevent growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Cutibacterium acnes with common antiseptic solutions. METHODS S aureus, S epidermidis, and C acnes cultures were treated with povidone-iodine (0.35%), chlorhexidine (0.05%), sodium hypochlorite (0.5%), polyhexamethylene biguanide, and an acetic acid-based solution for 15, 30, 60, 90, and 120 seconds in triplicate. Bacterial growth was quantified using the drop plate method. Failure to eliminate all bacteria was considered "not effective" at that time point. RESULTS Povidone-iodine 0.35% (Betadine), sodium hypochlorite 0.5% (HySept), and acetic acid (Bactisure) eradicated all bacterial growth after 90 seconds of treatment, and as low as 15 seconds in S aureus and C acnes (Betadine) or S epidermidis (Bactisure). Polyhexamethylene biguanide (Prontosan) required 90 seconds for elimination of S aureus and S epidermidis, and 120 seconds for C acnes. Chlorhexidine 0.05% (Irrisept) did eliminate S epidermidis at 120 seconds but did not effectively eradicate S aureus or C acnes. CONCLUSION All tested antiseptic solutions demonstrated successful eradication of all bacterial growth in under 2 minutes of treatment time except chlorhexidine. Povidone-iodine may require the shortest duration of treatment time to successfully eradicate common bacteria.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) surgeons employ various strategies to reduce the risk of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Few studies have examined the efficacy of preclosure dilute povidone-iodine irrigation in a large cohort accounting for recent practice changes in TJA. This study compared the risk of PJI in TJA patients with and without dilute povidone-iodine irrigation. METHODS This is a retrospective study of all consecutive primary TJAs between 2009 and 2019 at a single institution. We included 31,331 cases, of which 8659 were irrigated with dilute povidone-iodine and 22,672 were irrigated with sterile saline prior to closure. The primary endpoint was PJI as defined by 2018 International Consensus Meeting criteria with a minimum follow-up of 1 year. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine the association between dilute povidone-iodine irrigation and PJI while controlling for demographics, comorbidities, and operative factors. RESULTS In total, 340 patients (1.09%) developed PJI. Dilute povidone-iodine irrigation was associated with 2.34 times lower rate of PJI (0.6% vs 1.3%). Using multiple regression, dilute povidone-iodine remained significantly associated with a reduction in PJI. The absolute risk reduction was 0.73% and number needed to treat was 137 patients. Female gender, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, operative time, anesthesia type, prophylactic antibiotic type, and tranexamic acid were other significant factors in the regression model. CONCLUSION The routine use of dilute povidone-iodine could prevent 1 PJI for every 137 TJA patients, regardless of their preoperative risk. These findings support the use of povidone-iodine irrigation as a safe and cost-effective measure to reduce PJI.

Abstract
Aims Despite recent literature questioning their use, vancomycin and clindamycin often substitute cefazolin as the preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA), especially in the setting of documented allergy to penicillin. Topical povidone-iodine lavage and vancomycin powder (VIP) are adjuncts that may further broaden antimicrobial coverage, and have shown some promise in recent investigations. The purpose of this study, therefore, is to compare the risk of acute periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in primary TKA patients who received cefazolin and VIP to those who received a non-cephalosporin alternative and VIP. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study of 11,550 primary TKAs performed at an orthopaedic hospital between 2013 and 2019. The primary outcome was PJI occurring within 90 days of surgery. Patients were stratified into two groups (cefazolin vs non-cephalosporin) based on their preoperative antibiotic. All patients also received the VIP protocol at wound closure. Bivariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to control for potential confounders and identify the odds ratio of PJI. Results In all, 10,484 knees (90.8%) received cefazolin, while 1,066 knees (9.2%) received a non-cephalosporin agent (either vancomycin or clindamycin) as preoperative prophylaxis. The rate of PJI in the cefazolin group (0.5%; 48/10,484) was significantly lower than the rate of PJI in the non-cephalosporin group (1.0%; 11/1,066) (p = 0.012). After controlling for confounding variables, the odds ratio (OR) of developing a PJI was increased in the non-cephalosporin cohort compared to the cefazolin cohort (OR 2.389; 1.2 to 4.6); p = 0.01). Conclusion Despite the use of topical irrigant solutions and addition of local antimicrobial agents, the use of a non-cephalosporin perioperative antibiotic continues to be associated with a greater risk of TKA PJI compared to cefazolin. Strategies that increase the proportion of patients receiving cefazolin rather than non-cephalosporin alternatives must be emphasized. Cite this article: Bone Jt Open 2022;3(1):35–41.

Abstract
Issues arising in wound healing are very common, and chronic wound infections affect approximately 1.5% of the population. The main substances used in wound washing, cleansing and treatment are antiseptics. Today, there are many compounds with a known antiseptic activity. Older antiseptics (e.g., boric acid, ethacridine lactate, potassium permanganate, hydrogen peroxide, iodoform, iodine and dyes) are not recommended for wound treatment due to a number of disadvantages. According to the newest guidelines of the Polish Society for Wound Treatment and the German Consensus on Wound Antisepsis, only the following antiseptics should be taken into account for wound treatment: octenidine (OCT), polihexanide (PHMB), povidone-iodine (PVP-I), sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and nanosilver. This article provides an overview of the five antiseptics mentioned above, their chemical properties, wound applications, side effects and safety.

Abstract
Periprosthetic joint infection is a leading cause for failure of contemporary total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty projected to nearly double in the next decade and reach an economic burden of $1.85 billion in the United Sates by 2030. Although multiple treatments for periprosthetic joint infection have been described, a thorough débridement and joint lavage to decrease bacterial bioburden and to remove biofilm remains a critical component of treatment. Various adjunct antiseptic agents such as chlorhexidine, povidone-iodine, hydrogen peroxide, acetic acid, and chlorine compounds are currently in off-label use in this capacity. Each antiseptic agent, however, has a distinct mechanism of action and targets different organisms, and some combinations of agents may lead to tissue toxicity. In this review, currently available adjunct antiseptic washes will be described in detail based on their mechanism of action and the evidence for their use will be reviewed. Furthermore, this review puts forward an evidence-based treatment algorithm based on the specific causative organism.

Abstract
AIMS Intra-articular administration of antibiotics during primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) may represent a safe, cost-effective strategy to reduce the risk of acute periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Vancomycin with an aminoglycoside provides antimicrobial cover for most organisms isolated from acute PJI after TKA. However, the intra-articular doses required to achieve sustained therapeutic intra-articular levels while remaining below toxic serum levels is unknown. The purpose of this study is to determine the intra-articular and serum levels of vancomycin and tobramycin over the first 24 hours postoperatively after intra-articular administration in primary cementless TKA. METHODS A prospective cohort study was performed. Patients were excluded if they had poor renal function, known allergic reaction to vancomycin or tobramycin, received intravenous vancomycin, or were scheduled for same-day discharge. All patients received 600 mg tobramycin and 1 g of vancomycin powder suspended in 25 cc of normal saline and injected into the joint after closure of the arthrotomy. Serum from peripheral venous blood and drain fluid samples were collected at one, four, and 24 hours postoperatively. All concentrations are reported in µg per ml. RESULTS A total of 22 patients were included in final analysis. At one, four, and 24 hours postoperatively, mean (95% confidence interval (CI)) serum concentrations were 2.4 (0.7 to 4.1), 5.0 (3.1 to 6.9), and 4.8 (2.8 to 6.9) for vancomycin and 4.9 (3.4 to 6.3), 7.0 (5.8 to 8.2), and 1.3 (0.8 to 1.8) for tobramycin; intra-articular concentrations were 1,900.6 (1,492.5 to 2,308.8), 717.9 (485.5 to 950.3), and 162.2 (20.5 to 304.0) for vancomycin and 2,105.3 (1,389.9 to 2,820.6), 403.2 (266.6 to 539.7), and 98.8 (0 to 206.5) for tobramycin. CONCLUSION Intra-articular administration of 1 g of vancomycin and 600 mg of tobramycin as a solution after closure of the arthrotomy in primary cementless TKA achieves therapeutic intra-articular concentrations over the first 24 hours postoperatively and does not reach sustained toxic levels in peripheral blood.

What Is the Optimal Irrigation Solution in the Management of Periprosthetic Hip and Knee Joint Infections? J Arthroplasty 2021; 36:3570-3583. [PMID: 34127346 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2021.05.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2021] [Revised: 05/16/2021] [Accepted: 05/19/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Thorough irrigation and debridement using an irrigation solution is a well-established treatment for both acute and chronic periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs). In the absence of concrete data, identifying the optimal irrigation agent and protocol remains challenging. METHODS A thorough review of the current literature on the various forms of irrigations and their additives was performed to evaluate the efficacy and limitations of each solution as pertaining to pathogen eradication in the treatment of PJI. As there is an overall paucity of high-quality literature comparing irrigation additives to each other and to any control, no meta-analyses could be performed. The literature was therefore summarized in this review article to give readers concise information on current irrigation options and their known risks and benefits. RESULTS Antiseptic solutions include povidone-iodine, chlorhexidine gluconate, acetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, sodium hypochlorite, hypochlorous acid, and preformulated commercially available combination solutions. The current literature suggests that intraoperative use of antiseptic irrigants may play a role in treating PJI, but definitive clinical studies comparing antiseptic to no antiseptic irrigation are lacking. Furthermore, no clinical head-to-head comparisons of different antiseptic irrigants have identified an optimal irrigation solution. CONCLUSION Further high-quality studies on the optimal irrigation additive and protocol for the management of PJI are warranted to guide future evidence-based decisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Closed incision negative pressure wound therapy (ciNPWT) may reduce surgical site complications following total joint arthroplasty. Although unlikely necessary for all patients, the criteria for utilizing ciNPWT in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remain poorly defined. This study's purpose was to compare the incidence of incisional wound complications, non-incisional complications (ie, dressing reactions), reoperations, and periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) among a group of high-risk primary TKA patients treated with ciNPWT vs an occlusive silver impregnated dressing. METHODS One hundred thirty high-risk primary TKA patients treated with ciNPWT were 1:1 propensity matched and compared to a historical control group treated with an occlusive silver impregnated dressing. High-risk criteria included the following: active tobacco use, diabetes mellitus, body mass index >35 kg/m2, autoimmune disease, chronic kidney disease, Staphylococcus aureus nasal colonization, and non-aspirin anticoagulation. RESULTS Age, gender, and risk factor profile were comparable between cohorts. The ciNPWT cohort had significantly fewer incisional wound complications (6.9% vs 16.2%; P = .031) and significantly more non-incisional complications (16.9% vs 1.5%; P < .001). No dressing reactions required clinical intervention. There were no differences in reoperations or periprosthetic joint infections (P = 1.000). In multivariate analysis, occlusive silver impregnated dressings (odds ratio 2.9, 95% confidence interval 1.3-6.8, P = .012) and non-aspirin anticoagulation (odds ratio 2.5, 95% confidence interval 1.1-5.6, P = .028) were associated with the development of incisional wound complications. CONCLUSION Among high-risk patients undergoing primary TKA, ciNPWT decreased incisional wound complications when compared to occlusive silver impregnated dressings, particularly among those receiving non-aspirin anticoagulation. Although an increase in dressing reactions was observed, the clinical impact was minimal.

Abstract
Background Of the several methods used to prevent surgical site infection (SSI), diluted povidone-iodine (PI) lavage is used widely. However, the clinical utility of PI for preventing periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains controversial. The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the utility of dilute PI lavage for preventing PJI in primary and revision surgery. Methods This study was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA checklist for systematic reviews and meta-analyses. A comprehensive literature search of PubMed, CINAHL, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Cochrane Library databases was performed. The results are summarized qualitatively and as a meta-analysis of pooled odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). Heterogeneity of treatment effects among studies was classified as low, moderate, or high, corresponding to I2 values of < 25%, 25–50%, and > 50%. A random effects model was applied in cases of high heterogeneity; otherwise, the fixed effects model was applied. Subgroup analyses were conducted to identify potential sources of heterogeneity. Results After the screening and eligibility assessment process, eight studies were finally extracted for analysis. Overall, the results showed that PI had no significant effect on PJI with ununified control group. However, subgroup analysis of studies with a saline control group revealed an odds ratio of 0.33 (95% CI, 0.16–0.71) for the PI group, suggesting a significant effect for preventing PJI. Conclusion The systematic review and meta-analysis of the current literature demonstrates that diluted PI lavage is significantly better than saline solution lavage for preventing PJI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESIS The treatment of periprosthetic joint infection is complicated by the presence of residual biofilm, which resists eradication owing to bacterial adherence to orthopedic implants. The purpose of this study was to compare Bactisure (Zimmer Biomet, Warsaw, IN, USA), povidone-iodine (Betadine), and chlorhexidine gluconate solution (Irrisept; Irrimax, Gainesville, FL, USA) in reducing biofilm formation of Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Cutibacterium acnes inoculated on cobalt-chrome, titanium, and stainless steel disks, representing metals commonly used for shoulder arthroplasty. The hypothesis was that there would be no significant difference in biofilm reduction among the 3 topical adjuvants. METHODS Strains of S aureus (ATCC 35556), S epidermidis (ATCC 35984), and C acnes (LMG 16711) were grown on cobalt-chrome, titanium, and stainless steel disks. For each strain, the disks were divided into 4 groups: (1) control, (2) povidone-iodine (Betadine), (3) chlorhexidine gluconate (Irrisept), and (4) Bactisure. Bacteria were grown on 5% sheep blood agar plates. Biofilm eradication was quantified using adenosine triphosphate bioluminescence and compared with controls 48 and 72 hours after implementation of the topical adjuvant. RESULTS At 72 hours after implementation of the topical adjuvant, a statistically significant reduction in colony-forming units was observed for all topical adjuvants across all tested metals, as compared with their respective control. With respect to the topical adjuvants themselves, Bactisure more consistently demonstrated the most significant reduction in colony-forming units across all bacteria when the tested medium was adjusted for, with the exception of S aureus, which showed similar results to Betadine at 72 hours. CONCLUSION By use of commonly encountered topical adjuvants on S aureus-, S epidermidis-, and C acnes-inoculated disks of various implant metals, a significant reduction in biofilm production was observed. Bactisure, a recent Food and Drug Administration-approved topical adjuvant, demonstrated the overall greatest efficacy of the agents studied.

Abstract
Purpose This study assessed the clinical outcomes of periprosthetic joint infection patients who underwent two-stage revision total knee arthroplasty with antibiotic-loaded cement spacers fabricated using a handmade silicone mold. Materials and methods This study included seven patients (average age 77 years, average follow-up time 54 months) who underwent surgery at our hospital between 2009 and 2013. Clinical outcomes including knee scores, function scores, knee range of motion, and walking ability at the final observation, period from the primary total knee arthroplasty to implant removal, period from implant removal to revision total knee arthroplasty, and follow-up period after revision total knee arthroplasty were investigated. Results At the final follow-up, the average knee range of motion was 99°, with no significant differences at each stage; average knee and function scores were 84 and 77, respectively. With cement spacers, five patients were able to walk with a t-cane. No recurrence of infection was observed. Conclusions The clinical outcomes of the current case series demonstrated good knee function with preserved walking ability, without any recurrence of periprosthetic joint infection. This study suggests that using a handmade silicone mold could be an effective option for periprosthetic joint infection after a total knee arthroplasty.
