Carlock KD, Wilkerson JB, Yamaguchi JT, Fernando ND. A Comparison of Wound Complications Following Total Hip Arthroplasty Performed Through the Direct Anterior Versus Direct Lateral Approach. Arthroplast Today 2024; 27:101388. [PMID: 38774405 PMCID: PMC11106518 DOI: 10.1016/j.artd.2024.101388] [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: 10/09/2023] [Revised: 02/27/2024] [Accepted: 03/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Some studies have suggested the risk of wound complications may be higher using the direct anterior (DA) approach to total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study aimed to compare the risk of early postoperative wound complications between the DA and direct lateral (DL) approaches to THA and to determine patient risk factors that may contribute to this problem. Methods All patients who underwent primary THA with a single surgeon over a 5-year period were retrospectively reviewed. All patients were treated with either the DA or DL approach. Data collected included patient demographics, surgical approach, and wound status. There was a minimum follow-up of 6 weeks to allow for an adequate assessment of surgical wound healing. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to compare the 2 approaches. Results Five hundred seventy-nine patients (77.6%) who underwent DA approach and 167 patients (22.4%) who underwent DL approach were included. Patients who underwent DL approach had a higher body mass index and a higher rate of diabetes than those treated with the DA approach. Forty patients (6.9%) in the DA cohort and 14 (8.4%) in the DL cohort experienced early wound complications, P = .523. After controlling for potential confounding variables, the surgical approach was not an independent risk factor for early postoperative wound complications. Conclusions While there have been concerns regarding use of the DA approach in patients with higher body mass index and certain medical comorbidities, the results of this study suggest the choice of surgical approach may have minimal effect on the rate of early postoperative wound complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There remains inconsistent data about the association of surgical approach and periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). We sought to evaluate the risk of reoperation for superficial infection and PJI after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) in a multivariate model. METHODS We reviewed 16,500 primary THAs, collecting data on surgical approach and all reoperations within 1 year for superficial infection (n = 36) or PJI (n = 70). Considering superficial infection and PJI separately, we used Kaplan-Meier survivorship to assess survival free from reoperation and a Cox Proportional Hazards multivariate models to assess risk factors for reoperation. RESULTS Between direct anterior approach (DAA) (N = 3,351) and PLA (N = 13,149) cohorts, rates of superficial infection (0.4 versus 0.2%) and PJI (0.3 versus 0.5%) were low and survivorship free from reoperation for superficial infection (99.6 versus 99.8%) and PJI (99.4 versus 99.7%) were excellent at both 1 and 2 years. The risk of developing superficial infection increased with high body mass index (BMI) (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.1 per unit increase, P = .003), DAA (HR = 2.7, P = .01), and smoking status (HR = 2.9, P = .03). The risk of developing PJI increased with the high BMI (HR = 1.04, P = .03), but not surgical approach (HR = 0.68, P = .3). CONCLUSION In this study of 16,500 primary THAs, DAA was independently associated with an elevated risk of superficial infection reoperation compared to the PLA, but there was no association between surgical approach and PJI. An elevated patient BMI was the strongest risk factor for superficial infection and PJI in our cohort. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III, retrospective cohort study.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Increased risk of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in minimally invasive (MIS) total hip arthroplasty (THA) is still debated. This study aimed to identify differences in surgical and patient-related risk factors for PJI between an MIS anterolateral approach and transgluteal-modified Hardinge approach. METHODS A retrospective cohort of 5315 THAs performed between 2006 and 2019 at a single institution was screened. Short stem THAs performed via an MIS anterolateral approach in the supine position and standard straight stem THAs performed via a transgluteal modified Hardinge approach were included. Propensity score matching was performed to control for selection bias. After matching, 1405 (34.3%) short stem THAs implanted via MIS anterolateral approach and 2687 (65.7%) straight stem THAs implanted via a transgluteal modified Hardinge approach were included. The risk of PJI due to patient-specific and surgical factors was retrospectively analyzed using chi-square test and multivariate regression analysis. RESULTS PJI occurred in 1.1% in both MIS anterolateral and transgluteal approach (p = 0.823). Multivariate regression showed an increased infection risk for patients with a BMI between 35 and 39.99 kg/m2 (OR 6.696; CI 1.799-24.923; p = 0.005), which could not be demonstrated for transgluteal approach (OR 0.900; CI 0.900-4.144; p = 0.93). A BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2 (OR 14.150; CI 2.416-82.879; p = 0.003) was detected as a risk factor for PJI only in anterolateral approach. Increased operation time ≥ 121 min showed a significantly increased risk for PJI in the general cohort (OR 6.989; CI1.286-37.972; p = 0.024). CONCLUSION Minimally invasive anterolateral and transgluteal THA show a comparable rate of early PJI within the first year of index surgery. A BMI of ≥ 35 kg/m2 was detected as a clear risk factor for infection in the anterolateral approach. Prolonged operation time ≥ 121 min increases the risk of PJI regardless of approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periprosthetic joint infection is a serious complication and devastating mode of failure of total hip arthroplasty. Various surgical approaches exist for total hip arthroplasty, including the increasingly popularised direct anterior approach. There is no clear consensus on which approach is least associated with periprosthetic joint infection. The objective of this meta-analysis was to compare the rate of periprosthetic joint infection between surgical approaches to primary total hip arthroplasty for osteoarthritis. METHODS A search of 3 electronic databases (PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library) was conducted for relevant studies up to June 2020 with a defined list of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Randomised controlled trials and longitudinal studies reporting periprosthetic joint infection rates after primary total hip arthroplasty for osteoarthritis were included based on surgical approach. Data extraction was completed, and a meta-analysis was then performed using OpenMeta[Analyst] software. RESULTS A total of 24,407 hips were included for meta-analysis with an overall PJI incidence of 0.57%. The incidence rate for periprosthetic joint infection was 0.77% in the direct anterior approach group and 0.44% in the non-anterior approach group. The use of an anterior approach for a total hip arthroplasty was associated with an increased risk for periprosthetic joint infection (odds ratio = 1.404; 95% confidence interval, 0.711-2.771; p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS The direct anterior approach to total hip arthroplasty may be associated with a significantly increased risk for periprosthetic joint infection compared to non-anterior approaches, even though the overall rate was still small. This should be considered by orthopedic surgeons when choosing the surgical approach.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Evidence demonstrates comparable clinical outcomes across the various surgical approaches to primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, high-quality contemporary data regarding periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) risk between direct anterior approach (DAA) and other (THA) approaches is lacking. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated PJI rates reported in the literature between the DAA and other approaches. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five online databases were queried for all studies published from January 1st, 2000 through February 17th, 2021 that reported PJI rates between DAA and other surgical approaches. Studies reporting on primary THAs for osteoarthritis (OA) and that included PJI rates segregated by surgical approach were included. Articles reporting on revision THA, alternative THA etiologies, or minimally invasive techniques were excluded. Mantel-Haenszel (M-H) models were utilized to evaluate the pooled effect of surgical approach on infection rates. Validated risk of bias and methodological quality assessment tools were applied to each study. Multiple sensitivity analyses were conducted to evaluate the robustness of analyses. RESULTS 28 articles reporting on 653,633 primary THAs were included. No differences were found between DAA cohorts and combined other approaches (OR: 0.95; 95% CI 0.74-1.21; p = 0.67) as well as segregated anterolateral approach cohorts (OR: 0.82, 95% CI 0.64-1.06; p = 0.13). However, DAA patients had a significantly reduced risk of infection compared to those undergoing posterior (OR: 0.66, 95% CI 0.58-0.74; p < 0.0001) and direct lateral (OR: 0.56, 95% CI 0.48-0.65; p < 0.00001) approaches. CONCLUSION The DAA to primary THA had comparable or lower PJI risk when compared to other contemporary approaches. The results of the most up-to-date evidence available serve to encourage adult reconstruction surgeons who have already adopted the DAA. Additionally, orthopaedic surgeons considering adoption or use of the direct anterior approach for other reasons should not be dissuaded over theoretical concern for a general increase in the risk of PJI.

Abstract
This systematic review evaluated the combined effects of obesity and surgical approach on periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) rates after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Wound complication and PJI rates were elevated among patients with body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 or greater and 35 kg/m2 or greater, respectively, with the direct anterior approach (DAA). A BMI of 30 kg/m2 or greater also increased the risk of PJI with the posterior approach. Patients with BMI of 30 kg/m2 or greater undergoing anterolateral approach THA did not have increased risk of PJI. Patients with elevated BMI (≥30 kg/m2) are at risk for PJI, regardless of approach. Patients undergoing DAA THA who have BMI of 35 kg/m2 or greater may have an increased risk of PJI compared with those undergoing THA with other approaches. [Orthopedics. 2022;45(2):e67-e72.].

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, total hip arthroplasty via the direct anterior approach (DAA) has become more common. Little is known on the influence of the surgical approach on the microbiological spectrum and resistance pattern in periprosthetic hip joint infections. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the microbiological spectrum and resistance pattern in periprosthetic hip joint infections comparing the direct anterior versus lateral approach in a matched-cohort analysis at a single institution. METHODS Patients who underwent revision hip arthroplasty due to PJI following primary total hip arthroplasty with culture positive microbiology were analyzed. In all study patients, both the primary surgery and the revisions surgery were performed at the same institution. Only patients in whom primary surgery was performed via a direct anterior or lateral approach were included (n = 87). A matched cohort analysis was performed to compare the microbiological spectrum and resistance pattern in PJI following direct anterior (n = 36) versus lateral (n = 36) primary THA. RESULTS We identified both a significantly different microbiological spectrum and resistance pattern in PJI comparing direct anterior versus lateral approach THA. Cutibacterium avidum was obtained more frequently in the anterior subgroup (22.2% vs. 2.8%, p = 0.028). In the subgroup of infections with Staphylococcus aureus (n = 12), methicillin resistance was detected in 3/5 cases in the direct anterior group versus 0/7 cases in the lateral group (p = 0.045). Overall, Staphylococcus epidermidis was the most common causative microorganism in both groups (direct anterior: 36.1%; lateral: 27.8%, p = 0.448). CONCLUSION The present study indicates a potential influence of the localization of the skin incision in THA on the microbiological spectrum and resistance pattern in PJI. Cutibacterium avidum seemed to be a more common causative microorganism in PJI in patients who underwent direct anterior compared to lateral approach THA.

Abstract
AIMS Use of the direct anterior approach (DAA) for total hip arthroplasty (THA) has increased in recent years due to proposed benefits, including a lower risk of dislocation and improved early functional recovery. This study investigates the dislocation rate in a non-selective, consecutive cohort undergoing THA via the DAA without any exclusion or bias in patient selection based on habitus, deformity, age, sex, or fixation method. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed all patients undergoing THA via the DAA between 2011 and 2017 at our institution. Primary outcome was dislocation at minimum two-year follow-up. Patients were stratified by demographic details and risk factors for dislocation, and an in-depth analysis of dislocations was performed. RESULTS A total of 2,831 hips in 2,205 patients were included. Mean age was 64.9 years (24 to 96), mean BMI was 29.2 kg/m2 (15.1 to 53.8), and 1,595 patients (56.3%) were female. There were 11 dislocations within one year (0.38%) and 13 total dislocations at terminal follow-up (0.46%). Five dislocations required revision. The dislocation rate for surgeons who had completed their learning curve was 0.15% compared to 1.14% in those who had not. The cumulative periprosthetic infection and fracture rates were 0.53% and 0.67%, respectively. CONCLUSION In a non-selective, consecutive cohort of patients undergoing THA via the DAA, the risk of dislocation is low, even among patients with risk factors for instability. Our data further suggest that the DAA can be safely used in all hip arthroplasty patients without an increased risk of wound complications, fracture, infection, or revision. The inclusion of seven surgeons increases the generalizability of these results. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2021;103-B(7 Supple B):38-45.

Abstract
Resections of primary pelvic bone tumors are frequently complicated by surgical site infections (SSIs), thereby impairing the functional prognosis of patients, especially in case of implant removal. Although prophylactic antibiotics play an essential role in preventing SSIs, there are presently no recommendations that support their appropriate use. This study aimed to assess the impact of a 24 h prophylactic protocol on the bacterial ecology, the resistance pattern, and the SSI healing rate. We hypothesized that this protocol not only limits the emergence of resistance but also results in a good cure rate with implant retention in case of SSI. A retrospective study was performed that included all patients with an SSI following a pelvic bone tumoral resection between 2005 and 2017 who received a 24 h antibiotic prophylaxis protocol. Twenty-nine patients with an SSI were included. We observed a 75.9% rate of polymicrobial infection, with a high prevalence of digestive flora microorganisms and a majority of wild-type phenotypes. We confirmed that there was no significant emergence of resistant flora. After first-line debridement, antibiotics (DA) if any implant was used, or debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) whenever possible, we obtained a 79.3% cure rate, with implant removal in 20% of cases. The absence of an implant was significantly associated with SSI healing. Early infection management and low resistance profiles may also have a positive effect, but this needs to be confirmed in a larger cohort. In light of this, the use of a 24 h prophylactic protocol in primary pelvic bone tumor resections is associated with a favorable infection cure rate and implant retention in case of SSI, and minimal selection of resistant microorganisms.

J Arthroplasty 2021; 36:2038-2043. [PMID: 33648842 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2021.02.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2020] [Revised: 01/22/2021] [Accepted: 02/04/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies suggest an increased risk for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) utilizing the direct anterior (DA) approach to the hip. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether such an increased risk does indeed exist on a large cohort of patients, operated by experienced surgeons and taking into account various confounders. METHODS This was a single institutional study, including all patients who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty during the last decade, who were operated on by four high-volume arthroplasty surgeons utilizing a single surgical approach. Three of them utilized the direct lateral (DL) approach while one of them used the DA approach throughout the entire study. Patient characteristics, demographics, and comorbidities were assessed as well as operative and perioperative factors and their association with PJI. Association between surgical approach and PJI was evaluated in a univariate followed by a multivariate regression analysis. RESULTS A total of 10,201 patients were included in the study. Of those, 4390 (43.0%) underwent total hip arthroplasty through the DA approach and 5811 (57.0%) through the DL approach. PJI rates were 0.9% (38/4390) in the DA group compared with 1.3% (73/5811) in the DL group (P = .068). Results from a regression analysis showed no significant association between PJI and DA approach (adjusted odds ratio 0.760, 95% confidence interval 0.428-1.348, P = .348). The risk remained nonsignificant in patients with higher body mass index. There were also no significant differences in the infecting organisms between the two groups. CONCLUSION The DA approach to the hip does not increase the risk for subsequent PJI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The direct anterior approach (DAA) for primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) has recently increased in popularity. Recent evidence has raised concerns about whether use of the DAA is associated with increased rates of superficial and deep infection. The aim of this study was to systematically assess the literature and comparatively evaluate the rate of superficial and deep infection following primary THA using the DAA and non-direct anterior (non-DAA) approaches. METHODS This study was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) statement. Primary outcome measures evaluated were rates of superficial and deep infection in patients undergoing DAA and non-DAA primary THA. RESULTS A total of 1,872 studies were identified in the original search, of which 15 studies satisfied inclusion criteria. Our analysis evaluated 120,910 primary THAs, including 14,908 DAA and 106,002 non-DAA. The rate of superficial infection was 1.08% for DAA compared with 1.24% for non-DAA (odds ratio [OR] = 1.01, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.79 to 1.30, p = 0.921). The rate of deep infection was 0.73% for DAA compared with 0.51% for non-DAA (OR = 1.03, 95% CI = 0.80 to 1.32, p = 0.831). CONCLUSIONS This study found no difference in the rate of superficial or deep infection after primary THA using the DAA versus other surgical approaches. Our results suggest that comparative infection risk need not be a primary driver in the choice of surgical approach. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level III.

Abstract
Background: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication following
total hip replacement. The direct anterior approach for total hip
replacement is becoming increasingly popular. However, little is known about
the success rate of treatment with debridement, antibiotics, and implant
retention (DAIR) using the direct anterior approach. The aim of this study
was to analyze the effectiveness of DAIR using this approach and identify
patient and surgical factors that influence the results. Methods: Seventy-four patients (75 hips) in whom DAIR had been performed were
identified from the records of the weekly multidisciplinary infection
meeting and the laboratory information management systems. In 4% (3 hips),
modular components were exchanged. To consider competing risks (death), we
used competing risk models. Results: The competing risk analysis showed a successful outcome after DAIR of 82% at
4 years of follow-up; this rate was 89% at 4 years follow-up when excluding
patients managed with gentamicin beads. The sensitivity analysis revealed
that obesity (body mass index [BMI] of ≥30 kg/m2), use of
gentamicin beads, and an erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) of >40
mm/hr increased the risk of failure. Conclusions: DAIR using the direct anterior approach without the routine exchange of
modular components offers a success rate that is comparable with other
approaches for eradicating acute PJI following primary hip arthroplasty. Level of Evidence: Therapeutic Level IV. See Instructions for Authors for

Abstract
The optimal approach for total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains hotly debated. While wound complications following the direct anterior approach are higher than with other approaches, the organism profile of periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) by approach remains unknown. Our goal was to compare the organism profiles of PJIs following direct anterior and non-anterior THA. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 12,549 primary THAs (4,515 direct anterior and 8,034 non-anterior) that had been performed between January 2012 and September 2019 at a university-affiliated single-specialty orthopaedic hospital to identify patients with an early postoperative PJI. Criteria used for the diagnosis of a PJI were the National Healthcare Safety Network, which screens for PJI that occurs within 90 days of index arthroplasty, and the Musculoskeletal Infection Society guidelines. Patient demographic information and organism characteristics were recorded for analysis. RESULTS We identified 84 patients (38 who underwent the direct anterior approach and 46 who underwent the non-anterior approach) with an early postoperative PJI following primary THA (0.67% total THA PJI rate, 0.84% direct anterior THA PJI rate, and 0.57% non-anterior THA PJI rate). The direct anterior THA cohort had a significantly lower body mass index and American Society of Anesthesiologists score than the non-anterior THA cohort (29.5 versus 35.2 kg/m2, p < 0.0001; 2.29 versus 2.63, p = 0.016, respectively). Regarding organism profile, patients in the direct anterior THA cohort had significantly more monomicrobial gram-negative infections than the non-anterior THA cohort (4 versus 0, p = 0.038). We did not identify any demographic risk factors other than approach for gram-negative PJI. There were no significant differences in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase-negative Staphylococcus, obligate anaerobes, polymicrobial, or PJIs due to other organisms by approach. CONCLUSIONS Direct anterior THA approaches have a greater risk of monomicrobial gram-negative PJI, likely due to the unique microbiome of the inguinal region. While targeted infection prophylaxis may reduce these infections, it is not entirely effective on its own. Future studies with larger sample sizes are required to help us develop more targeted perioperative infection prophylaxis. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical site infection (SSI) and periprosthetic joint infection are the most important problems after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study aimed to examine the risk factors for intraoperative bacterial contamination in THA and TKA. METHODS One hundred and seven hips underwent THA, while 74 knees underwent TKA. After the implant was placed, a swab sample for bacterial culture was collected around the skin incision. At the time of specimen collection, patients were separated into two groups based on whether the iodine-containing drape remained adhered to the skin (group DR) or the iodine-containing drape was peeled off (group ND). Patient characteristics, including age, height, body weight, body mass index, operative duration, intraoperative blood loss, surgical procedures, and condition of the iodine-containing drape, were compared between patients with positive and negative bacterial cultures. RESULTS In THA, which had a shorter operative duration than TKA (p < 0.001), there was one case of bacterial contamination. In TKA, there were ten cases of positive bacterial contamination, all in group ND. Postoperative SSI occurred in one case. The binomial logistic regression analyses confirmed that TKA [OR 16.562 (95% CI 2.071 to 132.430), p < 0.01] was a high risk factor of bacterial contamination compared to THA and the group ND [OR 0.000 (95% CI 0.000), p < 0.001] had a low risk of bacterial contamination compared to the group DR. In TKAs, operative duration was the risk factor of bacterial contamination [OR 1.026 (95% CI 1.000 to 1.054), p < 0.01]. CONCLUSIONS Intraoperative bacterial contamination increases in procedures with long operating time and may be suppressed by proper use of an iodine-containing drape.

Abstract
Introduction Previous research suggested that patients have increased risk of infection with increased time from presentation with a femoral neck fracture to treatment with a hip hemiarthroplasty (HHA). The purpose of this study was to determine if rates of prosthetic joint infections within 3 months of surgery was affected by the time from patient presentation with a femoral neck fracture to the time of treatment with HHA. Materials and methods Acute hip fractures treated with HHA between 2005 and 2017 at three centres in Norway were enrolled in the study. Multi-trauma patients were excluded. Univariable analysis was performed to determine any significant effect of pre-operative waiting time on infection rate. Two pre-planned analyses dichotomizing pre-operative waiting time cut-offs were performed. Results There were 2300 patients with an average age of 82 (range, 48–100) years included of which 3.4% experienced a prosthetic joint infection within 3 months. The primary analysis found no significant difference in infection rate depending on time to surgery (OR = 1.06 (95% CI 0.94–1.20, p = 0.33)). The secondary analyses showed no significant differences in infection rates when comparing pre-operative waiting time of <24 hours vs ≥24 hours (OR = 0.92 (95% CI 0.58–1.46, p = 0.73)) and <48 hours vs ≥48 hours (OR = 1.39 (95% CI 0.81–2.38, p = 0.23)). Conclusion Based off of a large retrospective Norwegian database of hip fractures there did not appear to be a significant difference in infection rate based on pre-operative wait time to surgery.

Abstract
Background An increase in the incidence of hip periprosthetic joint infections caused by Cutibacterium avidum has recently been detected after hip arthroplasty with an anterior surgical approach. We raised the question of whether skin colonization with C. avidum differs between the anterior and the lateral thigh as areas of surgical incision fields. Methods Between February and June 2017, we analyzed skin scrapings from the groin and the anterior and lateral thigh in patients undergoing a primary hip arthroplasty. We anaerobically cultured plated swab samples for Cutibacterium spp. for ≥7 days. Univariate logistic regression analysis was used to explore associations between body mass index (BMI) and colonization rate at different sites. Results Twenty-one of 65 patients (32.3%) were colonized with C. avidum at any site, mainly at the groin (n = 16; 24.6%), which was significantly higher at the anterior (n = 5; 7.7%; P = .009) or lateral (n = 6; 9.2%; P = .02) thigh. Patients colonized with C. avidum did not differ from noncolonized patients in age or sex, but their BMIs were significantly higher (30.1 vs 25.6 kg/m2, respectively; P = .02). Furthermore, increased BMI was associated with colonization at the groin (odds ratio per unit BMI increase, 1.15; 95% confidence interval; 1.03-1.29; P = .01). Conclusions The groin, rather than the anterior thigh, showed colonization for C. avidum in obese patients. Further studies are needed to evaluate current skin disinfection and draping protocols for hip arthroplasty, particularly in obese patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a concern for higher rates of wound complications and a potentially increased periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) risk after total hip arthroplasty (THA) with the direct anterior approach (DAA) compared to the posterolateral approach (PLA). Our purpose was to compare PJI risk after THA with the DAA or the PLA and to identify risk factors for PJI after primary THA. METHODS Clinical characteristics of patients treated in our institution with primary DAA or PLA THA between 1/2010 and 12/2015 were retrospectively reviewed. The respective deep PJI rates were calculated. A logistic regression model was constructed to determine a potential difference in the PJI risk between the 2 groups, and risk factors for hip PJI in all patients. RESULTS During the period studied, there were 1,182 DAA THAs and 18,853 PLA THAs. The PJI rate was 0.25% for the DAA group and 0.31% for the PLA group (p = 1.0). The DAA was not associated with a significantly increased risk for PJI compared to the PLA. Compared to younger patients, older patients had lower PJI risk; patient discharge to home was also associated with lower PJI risk compared to other discharge disposition; longer length of stay was associated with higher PJI risk compared to shorter length of stay. CONCLUSION The DAA is equally safe compared the PLA with respect to PJI risk. Younger age, discharge to facilities other than home and increased length of stay increase the risk for deep PJI after primary THA.

Abstract
Background Propionibacteria are important members of the human skin microbiota, but are also opportunistic pathogens associated with periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). While the role of Propionibacterium acnes in PJI has been widely described, insight into the capacity of Propionibacterium avidum to cause PJI is limited. Methods An unusual cluster of 4 hip PJIs caused by P. avidum in one orthopedic center in 2015 prompted us to retrospectively identify and analyze clinical data related to previous P. avidum PJI cases (1997-2015). We also characterized the hemolytic and biofilm-producing capacity of our 4 clinical P. avidum strains isolated in 2015, and investigated their phylogenetic relationships by whole-genome sequencing. Results We retrospectively identified 13 P. avidum PJIs, with the majority being hip-related infections (n = 11). Preoperative synovial fluid cultures were P. avidum positive in 63.6% of cases. Six of 12 patients (50%) with available case histories were treated with an exchange of the prosthesis. In all but 1 of the 6 patients treated with debridement-retention of the prosthesis, treatment failed, thus requiring a 2-stage revision. The isolated P. avidum strains showed a more pronounced hemolytic activity, but a similar biofilm-forming ability when compared to P. acnes. Whole-genome sequencing identified 2 phylogenetic clusters highly related to P. avidum PJI strains isolated in Sweden. Conclusions We describe the largest series of P. avidum PJI predominantly located in the hip. Phylogenetic similarity of our P. avidum strains to PJI strains isolated elsewhere suggests that these invasive lineages may be common.

Abstract
AIMS We studied the impact of direct anterior (DA) versus non-anterior (NA) surgical approaches on prosthetic joint infection (PJI), and examined the impact of new perioperative protocols on PJI rates following all surgical approaches at a single institution. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 6086 consecutive patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) at a single institution between 2013 and 2016 were retrospectively evaluated. Data obtained from electronic patient medical records included age, sex, body mass index (BMI), medical comorbidities, surgical approach, and presence of deep PJI. There were 3053 male patients (50.1%) and 3033 female patients (49.9%). The mean age and BMI of the entire cohort was 62.7 years (18 to 102, sd 12.3) and 28.8 kg/m2 (13.3 to 57.6, sd 6.1), respectively. Infection rates were calculated yearly for the DA and NA approach groups. Covariates were assessed and used in multivariate analysis to calculate adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for risk of development of PJI with DA compared with NA approaches. In order to determine the effect of adopting a set of infection prevention protocols on PJI, we calculated ORs for PJI comparing patients undergoing THA for two distinct time periods: 2013 to 2014 and 2015 to 2016. These periods corresponded to before and after we implemented a set of perioperative infection protocols. RESULTS There were 1985 patients in the DA group and 4101 patients in the NA group. The overall rate of PJI at our institution during the study period was 0.82% (50/6086) and decreased from 0.96% (12/1245) in 2013 to 0.53% (10/1870) in 2016. There were 24 deep PJIs in the DA group (1.22%) and 26 deep PJIs in the NA group (0.63%; p = 0.023). After multivariate analysis, the DA approach was 2.2 times more likely to result in PJI than the NA approach (OR 2.2 (95% confidence interval 1.1 to 3.9); p = 0.006) for the overall study period. CONCLUSION We found a higher rate of PJI in DA versus NA approaches. Infection prevention protocols such as use of aspirin, dilute povidone-iodine lavage, vancomycin powder, and Gram-negative coverage may have been positively associated with diminished PJI rates observed for all approaches over time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periprosthetic infections after pelvic reconstruction are common, with reported rates ranging from 11% to 53%. Management of these infections is troublesome, as they commonly necessitate multiple surgical interventions and implant removal. The epidemiology and outcomes of these infections are largely unknown. The aim of this study was to analyze the causative microorganisms and the clinical outcome of treatment in a series of patients with pelvic endoprostheses affected by infection following tumor resection. METHODS In this retrospective, multicenter cohort study, we identified all patients who developed an infection after endoprosthetic reconstruction in periacetabular tumor resection, between 2003 and 2017. The microorganisms that were isolated during the first debridement were recorded, as were the number of reoperations for ongoing infection, the antimicrobial treatment strategy, and the outcome of treatment. RESULTS In a series of 70 patients who underwent pelvic endoprosthetic reconstruction, 18 (26%) developed an infection. The type of pelvic resection according to the Enneking-Dunham classification was type P2-3 in 14 (78%) of these patients and type P2 in 4 (22%). Median follow-up was 66 months. Fourteen (78%) of the 18 patients with infection had a polymicrobial infection. Enterobacteriaceae were identified on culture for 12 (67%). Of a total 42 times that a microorganism was isolated, the identified pathogen was gram-negative in 26 instances (62%). Microorganisms associated with intestinal flora were identified 32 times (76%). At the time of latest follow-up, 9 (50%) of the patients had the original implant in situ. Of these, 2 had a fistula and another 2 were receiving suppressive antibiotic therapy. In the remaining 9 (50%) of the patients, the original implant had been removed. At the time of final follow-up, 3 of these had a second implant in situ. The remaining 6 patients had undergone no secondary reconstruction. CONCLUSIONS Infections that affect pelvic endoprostheses are predominantly polymicrobial and caused by gram-negative microorganisms, and may be associated with intestinal flora. This differs fundamentally from mono-bacterial gram-positive causes of conventional periprosthetic joint infections and may indicate a different pathogenesis. Our results suggest that prophylaxis and empiric treatment may need to be re-evaluated. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level IV.

Obese patients have higher rates of polymicrobial and Gram-negative early periprosthetic joint infections of the hip than non-obese patients. PLoS One 2019; 14:e0215035. [PMID: 30958847 PMCID: PMC6453483 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0215035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2019] [Accepted: 03/25/2019] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Obese patients are more likely to develop periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after primary total joint arthroplasty. This study compared the clinical and microbiological characteristics of non-obese, obese and severely obese patients with early PJI, in order to ultimately optimize antibiotic prophylaxis and other prevention measures for this specific patient category. Methods We retrospectively evaluated patients with early PJI of the hip and knee treated with debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR) between 2006 and 2016 in three Dutch hospitals. Only patients with primary arthroplasties indicated for osteoarthritis were included. Early PJI was defined as an infection that developed within 90 days after index surgery. Obesity was defined as a BMI ≥30kg/m2 and severe obesity as a BMI ≥35kg/m2. Results A total of 237 patients were analyzed, including 64 obese patients (27.0%) and 62 severely obese patients (26.2%). Compared with non-obese patients, obese patients had higher rates of polymicrobial infections (60.3% vs 33.3%, p<0.001) with more often involvement of Enterococcus species (27.0% vs 11.7%, p = 0.003). Moreover, severely obese patients had more Gram-negative infections, especially with Proteus species (12.9% vs 2.3%, p = 0.001). These results were only found in periprosthetic hip infections, comprising Gram-negative PJIs in 34.2% of severely obese patients compared with 24.7% in obese patients and 12.7% in non-obese patients (p = 0.018). Conclusions Our results demonstrate that obese patients with early periprosthetic hip infections have higher rates of polymicrobial infections with enterococci and Gram-negative rods, which stresses the importance of improving preventive strategies in this specific patient category, by adjusting antibiotic prophylaxis regimens, improving disinfection strategies and optimizing postoperative wound care.

Complications after direct anterior versus Watson-Jones approach in total hip arthroplasty: results from a matched pair analysis on 1408 patients. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2019; 20:77. [PMID: 30764879 PMCID: PMC6376776 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-019-2463-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2018] [Accepted: 02/08/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The direct anterior approach (DAA) has gained popularity in total hip arthroplasty (THA) over the past decade. A large number of studies have compared the DAA to other approaches with inclusion of a learning curve phase. The aim of this study was to compare the complication rate and bleeding between the DAA and the anterolateral approach after the learning curve phase. Methods For this retrospective, single-institutional study, propensity score matching was performed, from an initial cohort of 1408 patients receiving an elective THA. Two matching groups were created, comprising of 396 patients each. After matching, both groups were similar in age, gender, body mass index, anesthesiologist’s score and surgeon’s experience. Results Average age in the matched groups was 68.7 ± 10.3 years. The total blood loss was similar in both groups, 450 vs 469 mL (p = 0.400), whereas the transfusion rate (14.1 vs 5.8%, p < 0.001) and the overall complication rate (17.6 vs 12.1%, p = 0.018) were lower in the DAA group. The overall fracture rate was comparable, 1.5 vs 1% (p = 0.376), as well as the early infection rate, 0.3 vs 1% (p = 0.162). The dislocation rate was significantly increased in the DAA group, 2.2 vs 0.5% (p = 0.032). Conclusions The direct anterior approach has comparable short-term surgical complications with reduced transfusion and general complication rates. Level of evidence Level III retrospective study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Implant-related infections in hand surgery are dreaded complications, potentially leading to loss of finger joint function or amputation. Knowledge about the clinical presentation and treatment concepts of these infections is limited. The aim of this study is to present a consecutive series of patients with implant-related infections of the finger joints and wrist. PATIENTS AND METHODS We identified 25 patients with 29 implant-related infections. Infections were categorized as osteosynthesis-related infections (ORIs) or arthroplasty-related infections (ARIs). Further categorization included early and late post-operative (four weeks or less or more than four weeks after implantation) and exogenous and hematogenous infection. RESULTS Compared with patients with ARIs (n = 11), those with ORIs (n = 14) were predominantly male (n = 11), were younger (mean 43 vs. 65 years, p = 0.0023), had few or no comorbidities, and had an exogenous source of infection. Patients with ARIs were predominantly female with rheumatoid arthritis (n = 8) and had a hematogenous pathogenesis. Infections occurred late in 22 (88%) patients. The most commonly isolated micro-organism was Staphylococcus aureus (n = 12; 48%). All ORIs were treated with implant removal and a median antimicrobial treatment duration of 39 days (interquartile range [IQR] 28-50 days). In the ARI group, the implant was removed in three patients and exchanged in three patients (one-stage exchange in one patient, two-stage exchange in two patients). In five individuals, debridement and implant retention was performed. The median antimicrobial treatment duration for ARIs was 42 days (IQR 30-75 days). The median follow-up time was 96 days (IQR 42-258 days) and infection was cured or presumably cured in 22 patients (88%). CONCLUSION Our series shows distinct host and clinical patterns in ORIs and ARIs, supporting this categorization. The infection prognosis in ORIs is excellent with implant removal and antimicrobial treatment. Treatment concepts in ARIs are often derived from algorithms for periprosthetic joint infections of larger joints and need to be further elucidated.

Abstract
The recent description of the genus Cutibacterium has altered the taxonomy of Propionibacterium species. These organisms still belong to the genera of the skin coryneform group, and the most-studied species remains Cutibacterium acnes. Cutibacterium avidum is also a known skin commensal. This underrecognized microorganism can, however, act as a pathogen after bacterial seeding and can be considered opportunistic, causing either superficial or deep/invasive infections. It can cause numerous infections, including but not limited to breast infections, skin abscesses, infective endocarditis, and device-related infections. The ecological niche of C. avidum is clearly different from that of other members of the genus: it is found in the axillary region or at wet sites rather than in dry, exposed areas, and the number of microorganisms increases during puberty. Historically, it has been used for its ability to modulate the immune response and for its antitumor properties. Conventional microbial culture methods and identification processes allow for its accurate identification and characterization. Thanks to the modern omics tools used for phylogenomic approaches, understanding C. avidum pathogenesis (including host-bacterium interactions and virulence factor characterization) is becoming easier, allowing for more thorough molecular characterization. These analyses have revealed that C. avidum causes diverse diseases mediated by multiple virulence factors. The recent genome approach has revealed specific genomic regions within this species that are involved in adherence and biofilm formation as well as fitness, survival, and defense functions. Numerous regions show the presence of phages and horizontal gene transfer. C. avidum remains highly sensitive to a broad spectrum of antibiotics, such as β-lactams, fluoroquinolones, macrolides, and rifampin, although erythromycin and clindamycin resistance has been described. A long-term treatment regimen with a combination of antibiotics is required to successfully eliminate the remaining adherent bacteria, particularly in the case of deep infections after debridement surgery.

Abstract
Purpose Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a successful surgery for the treatment of hip osteoarthritis; however, the risk of a post-operative prosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains at 1% to 2%. The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety profile of using vancomycin powder (VP) to reduce infection rates by reviewing acute postoperative complications. Materials and Methods A retrospective review of 265 consecutive patients undergoing THA was performed. The first 128 patients, the control group, did not receive VP, and the subsequent 137 patients, the VP group, received VP at the time of wound closure. Patient demographic data, medical comorbidities, and perioperative information were compared. Results The primary outcome was a post-operative surgical complication within 90 days from surgery. The control and VP group's demographic, medical comorbidities and perioperative information data were statistically similar. Deep infection rate in the control group was 5.5%, whereas the deep infection rate in the VP group was 0.7% (P=0.031). Sterile wound complication rate was 4.4% in the VP group, and 0% in the control group (P=0.030). Remaining complications were not statistically different between the groups. Conclusion VP was associated with an increase rate of sterile wound complications compared to the control group. The rate of PJI was decreased with the use of VP. We do not recommend for or against the use of VP at time of wound closure to prevent PJI, and higher powered studies will need to be performed to demonstrate the efficacy of VP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to describe our experience of a preoperative templating technique, and to investigate the most reliable anatomical reference to minimize leg length discrepancy (LLD) during hip arthroplasty using the lateral transgluteal approach for femoral neck fractures. We hypothesized that the medial fracture tip and greater trochanter would be viable alternative anatomical References METHODS: A total of 156 hip arthroplasty cases were enrolled in the present study (103 women, 114 hemiarthroplasties, 42 total hip arthroplasties). Preoperative acetate overlay templating was conducted based on pelvic anteroposterior radiographs. Three different anatomical references were used to determine the bony resection level, including the uppermost point of the lesser trochanter, uppermost point of the greater trochanter, and medial fracture tip. The accuracy of preoperative templating and the reliability of each anatomical reference for minimizing LLD were assessed. RESULTS Significant differences in postoperative LLD after hip arthroplasty between the three groups were identified. Post-hoc analysis showed that postoperative LLD in group A was significantly larger than that in groups B or C in hip arthroplasty. CONCLUSION The results of this study suggest that the use of the lesser trochanter as an anatomical reference to determine the level of femoral neck osteotomy should be discouraged, and that the medial fracture tip and greater trochanter may be better alternatives when using the lateral transgluteal approach.

Is it a true muscle sparing approach when performed by a low volume hip replacement surgeon? INTERNATIONAL ORTHOPAEDICS 2017; 41:2245-2252.

Abstract
PURPOSE We conducted this study to establish if the transition from a lateral approach (LA) to the direct anterior approach (DAA) for a low volume hip arthroplasty surgeon during the steep learning curve can be performed maintaining the muscle sparing approach of the DAA without increasing the complication rates. METHODS In this controlled, prospective, randomized clinical study we investigated 70 patients (35 DAA, 35 LA) with similar demographics that underwent a total hip arthroplasty. Assessment of the two approaches consisted of determining the invasiveness through serum markers for muscle damage (i.e. myoglobin, creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase), the operative parameters such as post-operative pain and rescue medication consumption, the component positioning and complication rates. RESULTS Post-operative myoglobin levels were higher (p < 0.001) in the LA group (326.42 ± 84.91 ng/mL) as compared to the DAA group (242.80 ± 71.03 ng/mL), but with no differences regarding other biomarkers for muscle damage. Pain levels were overall lower in the DAA group, with a statistical and clinical difference during surgery day (p < 0.001) associated with lower (p < 0.001) rescue medication consumption (median 1 (1; 3) mg morphine vs. 3 (2; 4) mg morphine). Most patients in the LA group reported chronic post-operative pain throughout all three evaluated months, while the majority of patients in the DAA group reported no pain after week six. Component positioning did not differ significantly between groups and neither did complication rates. CONCLUSION The DAA can be transitioned from the LA safely, without higher complication rates while maintaining its muscle spearing advantages when performed by a low volume hip arthroplasty surgeon.
