Streck LE, Braun S, Spilo K, Boettner CS, Brenneis M, Boettner F. How safe are intra-articular corticosteroid injections to the hip? BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2023; 24:665. [PMID: 37608323 PMCID: PMC10463482 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-023-06766-3] [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: 03/15/2023] [Accepted: 07/28/2023] [Indexed: 08/24/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intra-articular corticosteroid injections (ICSI) are an effective symptomatic treatment for osteoarthritis of the hip. However, the safety of ICSI has been questioned and a relatively high risk for septic arthritis, rapidly progressive osteoarthritis (RPIO) and periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) in patients undergoing subsequent total hip arthroplasty (THA) have been suggested. METHODS This is a retrospective evaluation of 682 hips that underwent ICSI with 40 mg of Triamcinolone for primary osteoarthritis of the hip. All ICSI were performed using sterile techniques, the number of ICSI in each hip and the cumulative corticosteroid dosage were assessed. Pre- and post-injection radiographs were compared to identify cases with RPIO. Native joint septic arthritis, surgical site infections and PJI were identified by chart review. RESULTS 4 hips (0.6%) developed RPIO 2-4 months following ICSI. The cumulative Triamcinolone dose was not associated with the development of RPIO (p = 0.281). 1 case was diagnosed with septic arthritis and treated with staged THA, there were no signs of infection at a 5 years follow-up. 483 hips (75.7%) underwent THA, including 199 hips with THA less than 3 months following ICSI and 181 hips with > 1 ICSI prior to THA. There were 3 superficial surgical site infections/wound dehiscence and no PJI. CONCLUSION The rate of RPIO was 0.6%. The current findings suggest that if ICSI is performed under sterile conditions, the risk for septic arthritis or PJI following THA, even in patients with multiple ICSI or ICSI within 3 months prior to surgery, is minimal.

Abstract
Septic arthritis is a medical emergency that requires prompt diagnosis to prevent long-term intra-articular complications. Prevotella bivia is an anaerobic gram-negative rod which has been infrequently reported to cause septic arthritis. We present a 49-year-old female that presented with spontaneous left knee pain and swelling without history of insult to the knee. She was initially misdiagnosed with patellar tendinitis and gout but later underwent joint aspiration due to worsening symptoms, which demonstrated 60 800/µL nucleated cells with a polymorphonuclear burden consistent with septic arthritis. Arthroscopy with irrigation and drainage was subsequently performed, and the patient was started on empiric antibiotics while awaiting cultures. Cultures grew Prevotella bivia, and antibiotics were deescalated to ertapenem alone followed by oral metronidazole. Prevotella species as a source of septic arthritis is rare, and its occurrence in a patient without known insult to the knee is even more uncommon. It is essential that it is recognized to treat appropriately and prevent long-term loss of function in the joint.

Abstract
Background Infections caused by Prevotella bivia, a gram-negative anaerobic bacillus, are rare, with no reported cases in Japan. We present a novel case of scrotal abscess in a Japanese patient co-infected with Prevotella bivia and Streptococcus agalactiae. Case Presentation A 41-year-old uncontrolled diabetic man complained of swelling and pain in the scrotum. On examination, computed tomography revealed an abscess of 5-cm diameter in the scrotum. Then, the abscess was incised and drained. He was treated with cefazolin empirically. Prevotella bivia and Streptococcus agalactiae were identified in the pus cultures obtained from the abscess. However, the susceptibility tests for Prevotella bivia could not be submitted. Seven days following admission, the pain reduced, and the drainage slowed. The patient was discharged on day 14 when cefazolin was discontinued and oral amoxicillin (750 mg/day) was started. Amoxicillin was continued until day 42; improvement was confirmed. Conclusion To the best of our knowledge, this case is the first report of Prevotella bivia in Japan. We suggest that cephem antibiotics such as cefazolin may be effective against Prevotella bivia in Japan.

Abstract
Prevotella bivia is an anaerobic, gram-negative bacillus which naturally thrives in the human vagina, and is usually related to vaginal tract infections. However, this microorganism can also cause infections in other body locations. Infections with Prevotella bivia are frequently severe due to the risk of osteomyelitis and the lack of good protocols for adequate therapeutic management. Staphylococcus haemolyticus infection is one of the most frequent etiological factors of nosocomial infections, which hasthe ability to acquire multiple resistance against antimicrobial agents. We report a rare case of foot and hand paronychia with superinfection of Prevotella bivia and Staphylococcus haemolyticus. We highlight the importance of early microbiological diagnosis, and proper therapeutic management to avoid the risk of complications and the development of bacterial resistance to antibiotics.

Abstract
This is the fourth in a series of articles related to procedure-oriented joint anatomy. This article reviews the anatomy of the hip and its relationship to procedures in the clinical setting with or without imaging guidance. Anatomically correct axial and coronal schematics allow injections to be envisioned relative to clinically important anatomy for common hip procedures. Cross-sectional schematics for the hip were drawn as they appear in imaging projections. The levels and planes of cross section were selected to highlight important anatomic landmarks for injection. It is hoped that these schematics allow for safer and more accurate needle procedures in the knee area.

Abstract
Pre-existing occlusion of the inferior vena cava may complicate renal transplantation. Suppurative abdominal wall phlebitis following renal transplantation was diagnosed in a patient with pre-existing thrombosis of the inferior vena cava of unknown cause. The phlebitis developed in the subcutaneous collateral veins of the abdominal wall contra-laterally to the renal transplant. Cultures from abdominal wall micro-abscesses yielded Prevotella bivia as the causative agent. This complication has not been described before in the context of renal transplantation. The pathogenesis and management of this serious complication are discussed in this paper.

Abstract
The 16S rRNA gene PCR in the diagnosis of bone and joint infections has not been systematically tested. Five hundred twenty-five bone and joint samples collected from 525 patients were cultured and submitted to 16S rRNA gene PCR detection of bacteria in parallel. The amplicons with mixed sequences were also cloned. When discordant results were observed, culture and PCR were performed once again. Bacteria were detected in 139 of 525 samples. Culture and 16S rRNA gene PCR yielded identical documentation in 475 samples. Discrepancies were linked to 13 false-positive culture results, 5 false-positive PCR results, 9 false-negative PCR results, 16 false-negative culture results, and 7 mixed infections. Cloning and sequencing of 16S rRNA gene amplicons in 6 of 8 patients with mixed infections identified 2 to 8 bacteria per sample. Rarely described human pathogens such as Alcaligenes faecalis, Comamonas terrigena, and 21 anaerobes were characterized. We also detected, by 16S rRNA gene PCR, four previously identified bacteria never reported in human infection, Alkanindiges illinoisensis, dehydroabietic acid-degrading bacterium DhA-73, unidentified Hailaer soda lake bacterium, and uncultured bacterium clone HuCa4. Seven organisms representing new potential species were also detected. PCR followed by cloning and sequencing may help to identify new pathogens involved in mixed bone infection.
