[PMID: 38655540 PMCID: PMC11035019 DOI: 10.1016/j.jor.2024.03.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2024] [Revised: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 03/31/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Background There is still controversy surrounding the routine use of vancomycin locally in primary orthopaedic surgery procedures. Therefore, the aim of this review is to assess how local vancomycin impacts the rates and microbiology of surgical site infections. Methods A systematic electronic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Web of Science was carried out for all comparative studies comparing locally applied vancomycin to control for primary orthopaedic surgery procedures published before August 14, 2022. Results A total of 61 studies with 65,671 patients were included for analysis. Forty-six studies used vancomycin powder, 12 studies with grafts soaked in vancomycin, two studies used vancomycin irrigation, and one study administered vancomycin interosseously. There were 15 studies (of 26) in spine surgery, five (of 14) in arthroplasty, ten (of 11) in sports medicine, and two (of five) in trauma surgery that found statistically significant decreases in overall infection rates when applying local vancomycin. Only one study (in spine surgery) found significant increases in infection rates with local vancomycin application. For spine surgery, local vancomycin application had the greatest proportion of gram-negative bacteria (40.7%) isolated compared to S. aureus (42.4%) in controls. In arthroplasty and trauma surgery, there were increases in the proportions of gram-negative bacteria when vancomycin was added. There were no reported systemic adverse reactions associated with local vancomycin use in any of the studies. Conclusion Applying local vancomycin during primary orthopaedic surgery procedures may reduce the rates of infections in multiple different orthopaedic specialties, particularly in spine surgery and sports medicine. However, careful consideration should be applied when administering local vancomycin during specific orthopaedic procedures given the heterogeneity of included studies and breadth of surgeries included in this review. Level of evidence Level III. A systematic review of level I - III studies.

Low Risk of Periprosthetic Joint Infection After Aseptic Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty With Intraosseous Vancomycin. J Arthroplasty 2024; 39:S305-S309. [PMID: 38795854 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.05.030] [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: 10/20/2023] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Aseptic revisions are the most common reason for revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA). Previous literature reports early periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) rates after aseptic rTKA to range from 3 to 9.4%. Intraosseous (IO) regional administration of vancomycin has previously been shown to produce high local tissue concentrations in primary and rTKA. However, no data exist on the effect of prophylactic IO vancomycin on early PJI rates in the setting of aseptic rTKA. The aim of this study was to determine the following: (1) what is the rate of early PJI during the first year after surgery in aseptic rTKA performed with IO vancomycin; and (2) how does this compare to previously published PJI rates after rTKA. METHODS A consecutive series of 117 cases were included in this study who underwent rTKA between January 2016 and March 2022 by 1 of 2 fellowship-trained adult reconstruction surgeons and received IO vancomycin at the time of surgery in addition to standard intravenous antibiotic prophylaxis. Rates of PJI at 3 months, 1 year, and the final follow-up were evaluated and compared to prior literature. RESULTS Follow-up at 3 months was available for 116 of the 117 rTKAs, with 1 lost to follow-up. The rate of PJI was 0% at 3 months postoperatively. Follow-up at 1 year was obtained for 113 of the 117 rTKAs, and the PJI rate remained 0%. The rate of PJI at the final follow-up of ≥ 1 year was 0.88% (95% confidence interval: -0.84 to 2.61). Previous literature reports PJI rates in aseptic rTKA to range from 3 to 9.4%. CONCLUSIONS Dual prophylactic antibiotics with IO vancomycin in conjunction with intravenous cephalosporins or clindamycin were associated with a substantial reduction in early PJI compared to prior published literature. These data supplement the early evidence about the potential clinical benefits of IO vancomycin for infection prevention in high-risk cases. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, therapeutic study.

Abstract
Guidelines for prophylactic antibiotic administration in total joint replacement vary considerably in terms of drug, dosage, route of administration and duration of cover. Despite the range of treatment options available, infection remains the most common reason for arthroplasty failure in the decades following a procedure, simultaneously increasing health care costs and lowering patient satisfaction considerably. This work aims to evaluate whether there are benefits to administering further doses of antibiotic post-arthroplasty, in addition to the recommendations of current protocols. We present a review of evidence surrounding infection rates in a variety of prophylactic regimens, and weigh this against further considerations such as cost to the patient and risks of nephrotoxicity. In summary, the available evidence does not suggest a benefit to administering additional doses post-arthroplasty in most cases. However, further doses may benefit those deemed at high risk of infection, or those in areas of high methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus prevalence.

Abstract
Background Vancomycin is a prophylactic antibiotic with bactericidal activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus that is commonly used in total joint replacement surgery1. In total knee arthroplasty (TKA), intraosseous infusions administered following tourniquet inflation have demonstrated improved local vancomycin concentrations with decreased systemic absorption1-3. This administration method results in no adverse reactions locally, as well as equivalent or lower systemic complications compared with other vancomycin administration methods4. Intraosseous infusion of prophylactic surgical antibiotics has been shown to be more effective than intravenous administration, with the potential for reduction in surgical site infections5. Description After the operative extremity has been prepared and draped in the usual sterile fashion, the limb is elevated and the tourniquet is inflated to 250 mm Hg. Prior to incision, an intraosseous vascular access system (Arrow EZ IO; Teleflex) is inserted with a power driver into the tibial tubercle region. The desired volume of the medication is injected into the tibia. The device is removed and then inserted into the anterior distal femur, centrally, just proximal to the patella. Following this, the desired volume of the medication is injected into the femur. The device is then removed, and the TKA proceeds according to the surgeon's standard technique. Alternatives Alternative administration methods for vancomycin include other invasive methods and noninvasive delivery. Intravenous delivery is the most traditional form of medication delivery1,2. Additional alternatives include noninvasive placement of antibiotic powder into the wound and localized soft-tissue injections of desired medications1-3. Rationale Opting to administer antibiotics and other medications intraosseously (rather than intravenously) has shown improved compliance with the golden-hour rule of preoperative antibiotics (especially for vancomycin)4, lower incidences of acute kidney injury or adverse systemic effects4, and improved local tissue concentrations of all medications delivered1-3. Expected Outcomes Expected outcomes include improved local tissue concentrations with decreased systemic concentrations of vancomycin and with no reported local or systemic adverse reactions, as well as the potential for improved infection prevention1-5. Literature regarding the use of intraosseous infusion during TKA has been thorough and very well received. A prospective, randomized study by Young et al. evaluated local and systemic concentrations of vancomycin following intraosseous versus intravenous administration. The authors found that low-dose intraosseous vancomycin resulted in tissue concentrations equal to or superior to those of systemic administration, also noting that the administration route reduced the infiltration time of the vancomycin without systemic complications1. Local concentrations at the knee were found to be 5 to 9 times greater with intraosseous infusion in patients with a body mass index of >35 kg/m2 as compared with the use of intravenous administration, with no adverse reactions systemically. Local concentrations in this patient population were also found to be comparable to those observed in patients with a lower body mass index2. A recent study assessing the use of intraosseous vancomycin showed that local concentrations of vancomycin were maintained even if the procedure continued beyond the point of tourniquet deflation, with mean concentrations being 5 times higher locally at the end of the procedure in the intraosseous versus the intravenous group3. A separate study showed no adverse systemic reactions and no incidents of acute kidney injury among patients receiving intraosseous vancomycin. An additional study showed that intraosseous administration of vancomycin decreased the incidence of postoperative joint infections compared with traditional intravenous administration5. Newer studies assessing the use of intraosseous infiltration have begun to focus on the delivery of other medications, not just antibiotics. At our institution, we have examined the benefits of intraosseously administrated morphine, which has shown a significant decrease in pain and opioid consumption up to 2 weeks postoperatively. Important Tips You may run into issues with the medication delivery due to the amount of resistance you encounter. If resistance is too great, you may first attempt to readjust the intraosseous needle depth to improve flow. If resistance is still high, you may consider downsizing to a 30-cc syringe in order to better infiltrate the medication.Note that if you downsize your syringe, you will require more time to infiltrate the desired amount of fluid. An additional way to save time is to open multiple syringes and have them prefilled with your desired medication so that they may be handed off once completed rather than needing to be refilled.A hemostat or pickup may be applied underneath the cuff of the intraosseous needle in order to help remove the needle from the bone. This step is sometimes required because the intraosseous handpieces do not have multidirectional trigger capabilities, and removing the needle can require an upward force to be applied.The use of midline locations allows the small incisions you make for intraosseous infusion to be incorporated into your larger knee incision, with no additional morbidity to the patient.Consider utilizing the medial and/or lateral femoral condyles as landmark locations for infusion if your patient is large. Alternatively, recent literature has shown nearly equivalent results with just the tibial infusion, so you may consider discontinuing the femoral intraosseous infusion if there are consistent issues with successfully initiating the medication delivery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Intraosseous (IO) administration of vancomycin at the time of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been shown to be safer and more effective than intravenous (IV) administration at preventing early periprosthetic joint infection. Previous studies have relied on tourniquet inflation to enhance local tissue concentrations and mitigate systemic release. METHODS A single-blinded, randomized clinical trial was performed on 20 patients (10 IV, 10 IO) undergoing primary TKA. The control (IV) group received weight-dosed vancomycin approximately 1 hour prior to the incision and weight-dosed cefazolin immediately prior to the incision. The interventional (IO) group received weight-dosed cefazolin immediately prior to the incision and 500 mg of vancomycin delivered via the IO technique at the time of the incision. Systemic samples for vancomycin levels were taken prior to the incision and at closure. During the procedure, tissue samples were taken from the distal femur, proximal tibia, and suprapatellar synovium. There were no differences in patient demographics or changes in serum creatinine from preoperative to postoperatively between groups. RESULTS Significant differences in systemic vancomycin levels (ug/mL) were found at the start of the case (IV = 27.9 ± 4.9 versus IO = 0 ± 0, P = 0.0004) and at the end of the case (IV = 19.6 ± 2.6 versus IO = 7.8 ± 1.0, P = 0.001). No significant differences were seen in the average vancomycin concentration in the distal femur (IV = 61.0 ± 16.0 versus IO = 66.2 ± 12.3, P = 0.80), proximal tibia (IV = 52.8 ± 13.5 versus IO = 57.1 ± 17.0, P = 0.84), or suprapatellar synovial tissue (IV = 10.7 ± 5.3 versus IO = 9.0 ± 3.3, P = 0.80). There were no complications associated with vancomycin administration in either group. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates the utility of IO vancomycin in tourniquetless TKA with similar local tissue and significantly lower systemic concentrations than IV administration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A novel approach known as intraosseous regional administration (IORA) has emerged as a technique for delivering prophylactic antibiotics, and it results in higher tissue concentrations around the knee. It is hypothesized that IORA of cefazolin for antibiotic prophylaxis during total knee arthroplasty will result in sustained effective levels for a longer duration. The aim of the current study was to investigate temporal changes in peri-knee cefazolin blood concentrations after IORA of cefazolin. METHODS Twelve rabbits were randomly divided into two groups, with six rabbits in each group. In control group a single intravenous bolus injection of cefazolin (10 mL, 100 mg) was administered into the marginal ear vein. In experimental groupexperimental group the same dose of cefazolin was injected into the left tibial marrow cavity after tourniquet inflation at the base of the left thigh. Blood samples were collected periodically at different timepoints, and cefazolin concentrations were determined. RESULTS The intraosseous treatment resulted in significant differences in plasma cefazolin concentrations at all timepoints. Experimental group exhibited higher plasma cefazolin concentrations than control group. CONCLUSIONS Cefazolin in intraosseous regional prophylaxis exhibits effectiveness in intraoperative antibiotic prophylaxis by maintaining concentrations above the minimum inhibitory concentration for extended durations, rather than relying solely on high concentrations.

Abstract
Prophylactic antibiotics are important in reducing the risk of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following total knee arthroplasty. Their effectiveness depends on the choice of antibiotic and the optimum timing of their administration, to ensure adequate tissue concentrations. Cephalosporins are typically used, but an increasing number of resistant organisms are causing PJI, leading to the additional use of vancomycin. There are difficulties, however, with the systemic administration of vancomycin including its optimal timing, due to the need for prolonged administration, and potential adverse reactions. Intraosseous regional administration distal to a tourniquet is an alternative and attractive mode of delivery due to the ease of obtaining intraosseous access. Many authors have reported the effectiveness of intraosseous prophylaxis in achieving higher concentrations of antibiotic in the tissues compared with intravenous administration, providing equal or enhanced prophylaxis while minimizing adverse effects. This annotation describes the technique of intraosseous administration of antibiotics and summarizes the relevant clinical literature to date.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prophylactic antibiotics reduce the risk of periprosthetic joint infection. However, conventional systemic administration may not provide adequate tissue concentrations against more resistant organisms such as coagulase-negative staphylococci. Intraosseous regional administration is known to achieve significantly higher antibiotic tissue concentrations than systemic administration, but it is unclear how synovial fluid concentrations are affected. We aimed to compare synovial fluid cefazolin concentrations achieved by regional intraosseous versus systemic intravenous administration, and also to compare synovial fluid cefazolin concentrations with those in subcutaneous fat. METHODS A total of 60 patients undergoing primary knee arthroplasty were randomized into 2 groups: group IO received 2 g interosseous cefazolin in 100 mL saline through a tibial cannula after tourniquet inflation and before skin incision; group IV received 2 g cefazolin in 100 mL saline via the median basilic or median cephalic vein 30 min before tourniquet inflation. Subcutaneous fat and synovial fluid samples were collected immediately after skin incision, and cefazolin concentrations were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. RESULTS The cefazolin concentration in synovial fluid was 391.3 ± 70.1 μg/ml in group IO and 17.6 ± 3.5 μg/ml in group IV. The cefazolin concentration in subcutaneous fat was 247.9 ± 64.9 μg/g in group IO and 11.4 ± 1.9 μg/g in group IV. CONCLUSION Intraosseous regional administration results in several times higher tissue concentrations than systemic administration, especially in the synovial fluid.

A multimodal intraosseous infusion of morphine and ketorolac decreases early postoperative pain and opioid consumption following total knee arthroplasty. Knee 2023; 43:129-135. [PMID: 37399631 DOI: 10.1016/j.knee.2023.06.002] [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: 12/06/2022] [Revised: 03/06/2023] [Accepted: 06/03/2023] [Indexed: 07/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Multimodal pain management regimens and intraosseous infusion of morphine are two novel techniques that show promise in decreasing postoperative pain and opioid consumption following total knee arthroplasty. However, no study has analyzed the intraosseous infusion of a multimodal pain management regimen in this patient population. The purpose of our investigation was to examine the intraosseous administration of a multimodal pain regimen comprised of morphine and ketorolac during total knee arthroplasty with regard to immediate and 2-week postoperative pain, opioid pain medication intake, and nausea levels. METHODS In this prospective cohort study with comparisons to a historical control group, 24 patients were prospectively enrolled to receive an intraosseous infusion of morphine and ketorolac dosed according to age-based protocols while undergoing total knee arthroplasty. Immediate and 2-week postoperative Visual Analog Score (VAS) pain scores, opioid pain medication intake, and nausea levels were recorded and compared against a historical control group that received an intraosseous infusion of morphine alone. RESULTS During the first four postoperative hours, patients who received the multimodal intraosseous infusion experienced lower VAS pain scores and required less breakthrough intravenous pain medication than those patients in our historical control group. Following this immediate postoperative period, there were no additional differences between groups in terms of pain levels or opioid consumption, and there were no differences in nausea levels between groups at any time. CONCLUSIONS Our multimodal intraosseous infusion of morphine and ketorolac dosed according to age-based protocols improved immediate postoperative pain levels and reduced opioid consumption in the immediate postoperative period for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.

Harper KD, Park KJ, Brozovich A, Sullivan TC, Serpelloni S, Taraballi F, Incavo SJ, Clyburn TA. Intraosseous Vancomycin in Total Hip Arthroplasty - Superior Tissue Concentrations and Improved Efficiency. J Arthroplasty 2023:S0883-5403(23)00385-6. [PMID: 37088221 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2023.04.028] [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: 03/28/2023] [Revised: 04/13/2023] [Accepted: 04/14/2023] [Indexed: 04/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Literature shows that intraosseous (IO) infusions are capable of providing increased local concentrations compared to those administered via intravenous (IV) access. Successes while using the technique for antibiotic prophylaxis administration in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) prompted consideration for use in total hip arthroplasty (THA) however; no study exists for the use of IO vancomycin in THA. METHODS This single-blinded randomized control trial was performed from December 2020 to May 2022. Twenty patients were randomized into one of two groups: IV vancomycin (15 mg/kg) given routinely, or IO vancomycin (500mg/100cc of NS) injected into the greater trochanter during incision. Serum vancomycin levels were collected at incision and closure. Soft tissue vancomycin levels were taken from the gluteus maximus (at start and end of case), and acetabular pulvinar tissue. Bone vancomycin levels were taken from the femoral head, acetabular reamings, and intramedullary bone. Adverse local/systemic reactions, 30-day and 90-day complications were also tracked. RESULTS A statistically significant reduction in serum vancomycin levels was seen when comparing IO to IV vancomycin at both the start and end of the procedure. All local tissue samples had higher concentrations of vancomycin in the IO group. Statistically significant increases were present within the acetabular bone reamings, and approached significance in intramedullary femoral bone. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates the utility of IO vancomycin in primary THA with increased local tissue and decreased systemic concentrations. With positive findings in an area without tourniquet use, IO may be considered for antibiotic delivery for alternative procedures.

Intraosseous Regional Administration of Antibiotic Prophylaxis for Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review. J Arthroplasty 2023; 38:769-774. [PMID: 36280158 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2022.10.023] [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: 06/02/2022] [Revised: 10/12/2022] [Accepted: 10/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraosseous regional administration (IORA) of antibiotics after tourniquet inflation has recently been introduced as a technique to deliver antibiotics directly to the surgical site among patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS PubMed and Embase were queried for studies reporting on IORA for perioperative prophylaxis during TKA. Primary outcome measures were local tissue antibiotic concentrations and rates of prosthetic joint infection (PJI). Eight studies were included for analysis. Four studies (all randomized controlled trials) compared local tissue concentrations between patients receiving IORA and intravenous (IV) antibiotics. Six studies assessed the rate of PJI among patients receiving IORA versus IV antibiotics. RESULTS All studies found a statistically significant increase in antibiotic concentration in femoral bone and fat samples in patients who were treated with IORA (44.04 μg/g [fat] and 49.3 μg/g [bone] following 500 mg of intraosseous vancomycin) versus IV (3.5 μg/g [fat] and 5.2 μg/g [bone] following 1 g IV of vancomycin). The two studies powered to determine differences in PJI rates found a statistically significant decrease in the rate of PJI among patients receiving IORA versus IV antibiotics. The incidence of PJI in patients treated with IORA and IV antibiotics across all studies was 0.3 and 1.1%, respectively. CONCLUSION Perioperative IORA of antibiotics in TKA provides local tissue concentrations of antibiotics that are on average 10 times higher than IV administration alone. Although more adequately powered investigations are necessary to determine the effectiveness of IORA in reducing PJI rates, adoption of IORA should be considered in high-risk patients where elevated tissue antibiotic concentrations would be of a maximum benefit.

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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Infection after aseptic revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been reported from 9% to 14%. Intraosseous (IO) vancomycin infusion has decreased the risk of infection after primary TKA. The results of this additional prophylaxis were evaluated in aseptic revision TKA. METHODS In this prospective, single-surgeon study of 20 consecutive patients having aseptic revision TKA, 500 milligrams of vancomycin in 120 mL of saline were infused into the tibia prior to incision, in addition to intravenous (IV) cefazolin. There were 18 men and 2 women who had a mean age of 67 years (range, 47-79), and mean body mass index of 34.4 (range, 25.9-51.2). The knees were aspirated in the operating room prior to IV and IO antibiotics. The outcomes were infections at 90 days requiring reoperation and complications from the infusion. RESULTS Three of the 20 aseptic revisions had early prosthetic joint infection, 2 with gram-negative organisms and one with coagulase-negative Staphylococcus. All had debridement, liner exchange and IV antibiotic treatment, but 1 patient eventually had an above knee amputation. No patient had total body "erythema syndrome", but 1 patient had transient facial flushing. Six patients had a transient elevation of serum creatinine including 3 with an abnormal preoperative serum creatinine. CONCLUSION In this small series of aseptic revision TKA, there was no added benefit of IO vancomycin infusion, but there were no infections with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Additional studies are needed before this technique should be routinely recommended.

Abstract
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains an extremely challenging complication. We have focused on this issue more over the last decade than previously, but there are still many unanswered questions. We now have a workable definition that everyone should align to, but we need to continue to focus on identifying the organisms involved. Surgical strategies are evolving and care is becoming more patient-centred. There are some good studies under way. There are, however, still numerous problems to resolve, and the challenge of PJI remains a major one for the orthopaedic community. This annotation provides some up-to-date thoughts about where we are, and the way forward. There is still scope for plenty of research in this area.

Abstract
The ever-increasing rate of medical device implantations is met by a proportionately high burden of implant-associated infections. To mitigate this threat, much research has been directed toward the development of antibacterial surface modifications by various means. One recent approach involves surfaces containing sharp nanostructures capable of killing bacteria upon contact. Herein, we report that the mechanical interaction between Staphylococcus aureus and such surface nanostructures leads to a sensitization of the pathogen to the glycopeptide antibiotic vancomycin. We demonstrate that this is due to cell wall damage and impeded bacterial defenses against reactive oxygen species. The results of this study promise to be impactful in the clinic, as a combination of nanostructured antibacterial surfaces and antibiotics commonly used in hospitals may improve antimicrobial therapy strategies, helping clinicians to prevent and treat implant-associated infections using reduced antibiotic concentrations instead of relying on invasive revision surgeries with often poor outcomes.

Abstract
Although there are numerous nonpatient-related factors that may help reduce infection risk, the proper use of prophylactic antibiotics is most responsible for reducing infection. The role of prophylactic antibiotics is to reduce early periprosthetic joint replacement, which is accomplished by having adequate antibiotic tissue levels at the time of skin incision. The goal of this section of the symposium is to review current antibiotic recommendations, how to manage patients with a self-reported penicillin allergy, review the use of dual antibiotics, discuss the use of antibiotics in the outpatient total joint setting, as well as very briefly discuss the administration of intraosseous antibiotics in knee arthroplasty.

Abstract
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis has been suggested for patients who underwent total join arthroplasty (TJA). However, the morbidity of surgical site complications (SSC) and periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) has not been well evaluated. We aimed to evaluate the impact of VTE prophylaxis on the risk of early postoperative SSC and PJI in a Taiwanese population. We retrospectively reviewed 7511 patients who underwent primary TJA performed by a single surgeon from 2010 through 2019. We evaluated the rates of SSC and PJI in the early postoperative period (30-day, 90-day) as well as 1-year reoperations. Multivariate regression analysis was used to identify possible risk factors associated with SSC and PJI, including age, sex, WHO classification of weight status, smoking, diabetes mellitus (DM), rheumatoid arthritis(RA), Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), history of VTE, presence of varicose veins, total knee or hip arthroplasty procedure, unilateral or bilateral procedure, or receiving VTE prophylaxis or blood transfusion. The overall 90-day rates of SSC and PJI were 1.1% (N = 80) and 0.2% (N = 16). VTE prophylaxis was a risk factor for 90-day readmission for SSC (aOR: 1.753, 95% CI 1.081-2.842), 90-day readmission for PJI (aOR: 3.267, 95% CI 1.026-10.402) and all 90-day PJI events (aOR: 3.222, 95% CI 1.200-8.656). Other risk factors included DM, underweight, obesity, bilateral TJA procedure, younger age, male sex and RA. Pharmacological thromboprophylaxis appears to be a modifiable risk factor for SSC and PJI in the early postoperative period. The increased infection risk should be carefully weighed in patients who received pharmacological VTE prophylaxis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraosseous (IO) infusion of medication is a novel technique for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) antibiotic prophylaxis. To decrease postoperative pain in TKA patients, we investigated addition of morphine to a standard IO antibiotic injection. METHODS A double-blind, randomized controlled trial was performed on 48 (24 each) consecutive patients undergoing primary TKA. The control group received an IO injection of antibiotics as per the standard protocol. The experimental group received an IO antibiotic injection with 10 mg of morphine. Pain, nausea, and opioid use were assessed up to 14 days postoperatively. Morphine and interleukin-6 serum levels were obtained 10 hours postoperatively in a subgroup of 20 patients. RESULTS The experimental group had lower Visual Analog Scale pain score at 1, 2, 3, and 5 hours postoperatively (P = .0032, P = .005, P = .020, P = .010). This trend continued for postoperative day 1, 2, 8, and 9 (40% reduction, P = .001; 49% reduction, P = .036; 38% reduction, P = .025; 33% reduction, P = .041). The experimental group had lower opioid consumption than the control group for the first 48 hours and second week postsurgery (P < .05). Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement scores for the experimental group showed significant improvement at 2 and 8 weeks postsurgery (P < .05). Serum morphine levels in the experimental group were significantly less than the control group 10 hours after IO injection (P = .049). CONCLUSION IO morphine combined with a standard antibiotic solution demonstrates superior postoperative pain relief immediately and up to 2 weeks. IO morphine is a safe and effective method to lessen postoperative pain in TKA patients. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic, Level 1.

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
Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) after total knee arthroplasty is a devastating complication. With the development of antibiotic resistance, a safe and effective means of delivering antibiotic prophylaxis is needed. Intraosseous regional antibiotics (IORA) achieve higher local concentrations of antibiotics with fewer systemic side effects. Previous studies have proven the safety of IORA, whereas animal models have proven it to be more effective than intravenous antibiotics for preventing infection following surgery. Recently, large-scale retrospective studies have also demonstrated lower PJI rates following TKA when IORA is used when compared to routine intravenous prophylaxis. In this article, we propose an evidence-based method for the administration of intraosseous antibiotics in TKA, cover the up-to-date data supporting its use, and explore future directions for additional research.

Abstract
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a difficult complication requiring a comprehensive eradication protocol. Cure rates have essentially stalled in the last two decades, using methods of antimicrobial cement joint spacers and parenteral antimicrobial agents. Functional spacers with higher-dose antimicrobial-loaded cement and antimicrobial-loaded calcium sulphate beads have emphasized local antimicrobial delivery on the premise that high-dose local antimicrobial delivery will enhance eradication. However, with increasing antimicrobial pressures, microbiota have responded with adaptive mechanisms beyond traditional antimicrobial resistance genes. In this review we describe adaptive resistance mechanisms that are relevant to the treatment of PJI. Some mechanisms are well known, but others are new. The objective of this review is to inform clinicians of the known adaptive resistance mechanisms of microbes relevant to PJI. We also discuss the implications of these adaptive mechanisms in the future treatment of PJI. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2022;104-B(5):575-580.

Higher Tissue Concentrations of Vancomycin Achieved With Low-Dose Intraosseous Injection Versus Intravenous Despite Limited Tourniquet Duration in Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Randomized Trial. J Arthroplasty 2022; 37:857-863. [PMID: 35091036 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2022.01.057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2021] [Revised: 12/30/2021] [Accepted: 01/20/2022] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Vancomycin use has been suggested in high risk patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Previous literature has shown that a lower dose (500 mg) of vancomycin given by intraosseous regional administration (IORA) achieves tissue concentrations 4-10 times higher than intravenous (IV) administration. There is increasing interest in performing TKA with limited tourniquet inflation time. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether IORA of vancomycin can achieve effective tissue concentrations with limited tourniquet inflation time. METHODS Based on prior power calculations, 24 patients undergoing primary TKA were randomized into 2 groups. Group IV-Systemic received weight-based (15 mg/kg) vancomycin with the tourniquet inflated for cementation only. Group IORA received 500 mg vancomycin via IORA after tourniquet inflation which remained inflated for 10 minutes, then reinflated for cementation only. Vancomycin concentrations from tissue, serum, and drain fluid were compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS Median vancomycin concentrations in tissue were significantly higher (5-15 times) at all time points in the IORA group. Concentrations in fat at the time of wound closure, after the tourniquet had been deflated for most of the procedure, were 5.2 μg/g in Group IV-Systemic and 33.1 μg/g in Group IORA (P < .001). Median bone concentrations taken just prior to cementation were 7.9 μg/g in Group IV-Systemic and 21.8 μg/g in Group IORA (P = .006). There were no complications related to IORA. CONCLUSION For surgeons who wish to limit tourniquet time and when indicated to use vancomycin, low-dose vancomycin IORA achieves tissue concentrations 5-15 times higher than those achieved by IV administration. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 1 therapeutic randomized trial.
