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

Venkataram A, Lahar N, Adams WP. Enhancing Patient Outcomes in Aesthetic Breast Implant Procedures Using Proven Antimicrobial Breast Pocket Irrigations: A 20-Year Follow-up. Aesthet Surg J 2023; 43:66-73.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Capsular contracture (CC) remains the most common complication of implant-based aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery. With subclinical infection proven to be the primary etiology, antimicrobial breast pocket irrigation has been recommended as the key step to reduce CC but has not been universally adopted. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to review the rates of CC observed when applying proven antimicrobial breast pocket irrigations. METHODS Data from patients undergoing cosmetic breast augmentation were recorded prospectively from 1997 to 2017. The irrigation was performed with either a Betadine-containing (50% Betadine or "Betadine triple") or a non-Betadine triple antibiotic regimen. The database was assessed to determine the type of implant used, the incidence of CC, and possible contributing factors. The degree of CC was recorded according to the Baker classification. RESULTS A 20-year prospective data collection yielded 2088 patients with 4176 implants; of these patients, 826 had textured implants and 1262 had smooth implants. The incidence of Grade III/IV CC was found to be 0.57% in all patients undergoing primary breast augmentation (1.21% in textured implants and 0.16% in smooth implants). CONCLUSIONS This study constitutes the largest and longest review of CC in a controlled, single-surgeon setting. The incidence of CC is low and reinforces the efficacy/utility of antimicrobial breast pocket irrigation. Both the Betadine and non-Betadine antibiotic regimens were found to be effective, with the Betadine regimen being preferred. Universal adoption of Betadine-containing antimicrobial breast pocket irrigation is recommended to reduce CC and other device-associated infections. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4

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

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

Abstract
In orthopedic oncology, the implant of a megaprosthetic device is standard of care after large-scale tumor resection involving segmental removal of bone. Infection remains the leading cause of implant failure, often resulting in major morbidity. Perioperative antibiotic practices for megaprosthetic reconstructions are not standardized and are based on guidelines for conventional joint arthroplasties. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of current prophylactic strategies for megaprosthetic reconstructions. We conducted a retrospective review of megaprosthetic reconstructions performed at Duke University from 2001 to 2021. Logistic regression with GEE was used to assess whether a prolonged course of postoperative antibiotics is associated with infection risk. We assessed the microbial profile and corresponding susceptibilities of megaprosthetic infections through record review. Additionally, we designed a pharmacokinetic subgroup analysis using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to quantify antibiotic concentrations in surgical tissue. Wilcoxon rank-sum tests were used to correlate tissue concentrations with infection risk. Out of 184 cases, 23 (12.5%) developed infection within 1 year. Extended postoperative antibiotics were not significantly associated with infection risk (P = 0.23). Among 18 culture-positive cases, 4 (22.2%) were caused by cefazolin-susceptible organisms. Median bone and muscle concentrations of cefazolin among cases that developed postoperative infection (0.065 ng/mL and 0.2 ng/mL, respectively) were significantly lower than those of cases that did not (0.42 ng/mL and 1.95 ng/mL, P < 0.01 and P = 0.03). This study is the first to comprehensively assess aspects of perioperative prophylaxis for megaprosthetic reconstructions. Extending postoperative antibiotics did not reduce infection risk. We detected a high frequency of cefazolin nonsusceptible organisms among postoperative infections. Additionally, intraoperative antibiotic tissue concentrations may be predictive of later infection. Future studies ought to examine optimal drug choices and dosing strategies.

High Cefuroxime Concentrations and Long Elimination in an Orthopaedic Surgical Deadspace—A Microdialysis Porcine Study. Antibiotics (Basel) 2022; 11:antibiotics11020208. [PMID: 35203810 PMCID: PMC8868149 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics11020208] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2021] [Revised: 01/27/2022] [Accepted: 02/04/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Deadspace is the tissue and bony defect in a surgical wound after closure. This space is presumably poorly perfused favouring bacterial proliferation and biofilm formation. In arthroplasty surgery, an obligate deadspace surrounding the prosthesis is introduced and deadspace management, in combination with obtaining therapeutic prophylactic antibiotic concentrations, is important for limiting the risk of acquiring a periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). This study aimed to investigate cefuroxime distribution to an orthopaedic surgical deadspace in comparison with plasma and bone concentrations during two dosing intervals (8 h × 2). In a setup imitating shoulder arthroplasty surgery, but without insertion of a prosthesis, microdialysis catheters were placed for cefuroxime sampling in a deadspace in the glenohumeral joint and in cancellous bone of the scapular neck in eighteen pigs. Blood samples were collected as a reference. Cefuroxime was administered according to weight (20 mg/kg). The primary endpoint was time above the cefuroxime minimal inhibitory concentration of the free fraction of cefuroxime for Staphylococcus aureus (fT > MIC (4 μg/mL)). During the two dosing intervals, mean fT > MIC (4 μg/mL) was significantly longer in deadspace (605 min) compared with plasma (284 min) and bone (334 min). For deadspace, the mean time to reach 4 μg/mL was prolonged from the first dosing interval (8 min) to the second dosing interval (21 min), while the peak drug concentration was lower and half-life was longer in the second dosing interval. In conclusion, weight-adjusted cefuroxime fT > MIC (4 μg/mL) and elimination from the deadspace was longer in comparison to plasma and bone. Our results suggest a deadspace consolidation and a longer diffusions distance, resulting in a low cefuroxime turn-over. Based on theoretical targets, cefuroxime appears to be an appropriate prophylactic drug for the prevention of PJI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical site infection is a rare but serious complication associated with total joint arthroplasty (TJA). There are limited data on the effectiveness of intrawound irrigation with vancomycin solution (1000 mg/L; 2 L) before wound closure for preventing acute surgical site infection following primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
AIM To investigate the effectiveness of prophylactic intraoperative application of vancomycin (1000 mg/L; 2 L) solution vs. plain irrigation in reducing the incidence of acute surgical site infection following primary THA and TKA.
METHODS A retrospective review of 2725 consecutive patients undergoing THA or TKA from January 2012–December 2019 was performed. These patients received either intrawound irrigation with normal saline before wound closure between January 2012 and December 2015 (group 1, 1018 patients; 453 undergoing THA and 565 undergoing TKA) or intrawound irrigation with vancomycin solution (1000 mg/L) before wound closure between January 2016 and December 2019 (group 2, 1175 patients; 512 undergoing THA and 663 undergoing TKA). The outcomes were the incidences of postoperative surgical site infection and wound healing complications within 3 mo of primary TJA.
RESULTS There were no significant demographic differences between the 2 groups. There was a significantly higher incidence of acute infection at the surgical site in patients who received intrawound irrigation with normal saline before wound closure than in those who received intrawound irrigation with vancomycin solution (1000 mg/L; 2 L) before wound closure (overall incidence of infection: group 1, 2.46% vs group 2, 0.09%, P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the incidence of wound healing complications between the two groups.
CONCLUSION Prophylactic irrigation with vancomycin solution (1000 mg/L; 2 L) significantly decreases the incidence of acute surgical site infection after primary TJA. This strategy is a safe, efficacious, and inexpensive method for reducing the incidence of acute surgical site infection after TJA.

Abstract
Although intra-articular vancomycin powder (VP) is sometimes applied before the closure of the incision to prevent periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after joint replacement, the dosage, efficacy and safety remain controversial. This study aimed to explore the dosage, efficacy, and safety of intra-articular VP in the prophylaxis of infection after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in a rat model. Sixty male rats were randomly divided into five groups after receiving TKA surgery: Control (no antibiotics); systemic vancomycin (SV) (intraperitoneal injection, 88 mg/kg, equal to 1g in a patient weighted 70kg); VP0.5, VP1.0 and VP2.0 (44 mg/kg, 88 mg/kg and 176 mg/kg respectively, intra-articular). All animals were inoculated in the knee with methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). General status, serum biomarkers, radiology, microbiological assay and histopathological tests were assessed within 14 days post-operatively. Compared with the Control and SV groups, bacterial counts, knee-width, tissue inflammation, and osteolysis were reduced in the VP0.5, VP1.0 and VP2.0 groups, without notable bodyweight loss and incision complications. Among all the VP groups, VP1.0 and VP2.0 groups presented superior outcomes in the knee-width and tissue inflammation than the VP0.5 group. Microbial culture indicated that no MRSA survived in the knee of VP1.0 and VP2.0 groups, while bacteria growth was observed in VP0.5 group. No obvious changes in the structure and functional biomarkers of liver and kidney were observed in both SV and VP groups. Therefore, intra-articular vancomycin powder at the dosage from 88 mg/kg to 176 mg/kg may be effective and safe in preventing PJI induced by methicillin-resistant S. aureus in the rat TKA model.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A diverse array of antibacterial solutions is utilized by orthopedic surgeons in an attempt to disperse bacterial biofilm. Few studies compare these agents against biofilm grown on clinically relevant orthopedic biomaterials, such as plastic, acrylic cement, and porous titanium. METHODS MSSA biofilm was grown on plastic 48-well plates, polymethylmethacrylate cement beads and porous Ti-6Al-4V acetabular screw caps. Antibacterial solutions were tested according to manufacturer guidance and included: isotonic saline, vancomycin (1 mg/mL), polymyxin-bacitracin (500,000 U/L-50,000 U/L), povidone-iodine 0.3%, povidone-iodine 10%, a 1:1 combination of povidone-iodine 10% & 4% hydrogen peroxide, polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) and betaine 0.04%, a commercial solution containing chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) 0.05%, and a commercial solution containing benzalkonium chloride and ethanol. Twenty four and 72-hour biofilms were exposed to solutions for 3 minutes to reproduce intraoperative conditions. Solution efficacy was measured through sonication of treated surfaces followed by counting colony forming units and validated with a resazurin assay to assess cell viability. Experiments were performed in triplicate and repeated at least once. A three-fold log reduction in CFU counts versus controls was considered as a measure of solution efficacy. RESULTS Saline, vancomycin and polymyxin-bacitracin were ineffective compared to other solutions against planktonic MSSA. Povidone-iodine 10% and a 1:1 solution of povidone-iodine 10% and 4% hydrogen peroxide were the only effective solutions against biofilm across all three surfaces and time points. CONCLUSION Commercial antibacterial solutions vary significantly in their efficacy against MSSA biofilm. Efficacy globally decreased as biofilm maturity increased. Increased solution cost did not confer increased efficacy.

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

Abstract
Introduction. Systemic perioperative vancomycin may not provide sufficient prophylactic target-site concentrations in the prevention of prosthetic joint infections. Intraosseous vancomycin potentially provides high target-site concentrations. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the local bone and tissue concentrations following tibial intraosseous vancomycin administration in a porcine model. Methods. Eight pigs received 500 mg diluted vancomycin (50 mg/mL) through an intraosseous cannula into the proximal tibial cancellous bone. No tourniquet was applied. Microdialysis was applied for sampling of vancomycin concentrations in adjacent tibial cancellous bone, in cortical bone, in the intramedullary canal of the diaphysis, in the synovial fluid of the knee joint, and in the subcutaneous tissue. Plasma samples were obtained as a systemic reference. Samples were collected for 12 h. Results. High vancomycin concentrations were found in the tibial cancellous bone with a mean peak drug concentration of 1236 (range 28-5295) µ g / mL , which remained high throughout the sampling period. The mean (standard deviation) peak drug concentration in plasma was 19 (2) µ g / mL , which was obtained immediately after administration. Peak drug concentration, time to peak drug concentration, and area under the concentration-time curve were within the same range in the intramedullary canal, the synovial fluid of the knee, and the subcutaneous tissue. Conclusion. Tibial intraosseous administration of vancomycin provided high concentrations in tibial cancellous bone throughout a 12 h period but with an unpredictable and wide range of peak concentration. The systemic absorption was high and immediate, thus mirroring an intravenous administration. Low mean concentrations were found in all the remaining compartments.

Abstract
Aims The efficacy and safety of intrawound vancomycin for preventing surgical site infection in primary hip and knee arthroplasty is uncertain. Methods A systematic review of the literature was conducted, indexed from inception to March 2020 in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Google Scholar databases. All studies evaluating the efficacy and/or safety of intrawound vancomycin in patients who underwent primary hip and knee arthroplasty were included. Incidence of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), superficial infection, aseptic wound complications, acute kidney injury, anaphylactic reaction, and ototoxicity were meta-analyzed. Results were reported as odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The quality of included studies was assessed using the risk of bias in non-randomized studies of interventions (ROBINS-I) assessment tool. Results Nine studies involving 4,607 patients were included. Intrawound vancomycin was associated with lower incidence of PJI (30 patients (1.20%) vs 58 control patients (2.75%); OR 0.44, 95% CI 0.28 to 0.69) and simultaneous acute kidney injury (four patients (0.28%) vs four control patients (0.35%), OR 0.71, 95% CI 0.19 to 2.55). However, it did not reduce risk of superficial infection (four patients (0.67%) vs six control patients (1.60%), OR 0.60, 95% CI 0.17 to 2.12) and was associated with higher incidence of aseptic wound complications (23 patients (2.15%) vs eight in control patients (0.96%), OR 2.39, 95% CI 1.09 to 5.23). Four studies reported no anaphylactic reactions and three studies reported no ototoxicity in any patient group. Conclusion The current literature suggests that intrawound vancomycin used in primary hip and knee arthroplasty may reduce incidence of PJI, but it may also increase risk of aseptic wound complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE Vancomycin powder (VP) has been used to prevent periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). However, studies investigating the efficacy of VP to prevent infection in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are very rare. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of VP application to prevent PJI in TKA. METHODS Between 2012 and 2016, 976 consecutive patients who underwent primary TKA were included in the present study. Patients were divided into two groups. There were 474 patients (48.6%) in the VP group and 502 patients in the control group (51.4%). Except for VP, all procedures were the same in both groups. In the VP group, 2 g of VP was poured into the joint just before the fascia was closed. Average follow-up was 53.2 months (24-84 months). RESULTS Infection was found in 4 (0.84%) of 474 patients in the VP group and 5 (0.99%) of 502 patients in the control group. There was no statistically significant difference between groups in terms of infection rates (p = 0.535). Staphylococcus aureus was found in 2 patients in the VP group. Two patients had S. aureus and 1 patient had Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the control group. There was no statistically significant difference between groups in terms of demographic parameters (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Intrawound VP administration doesn't change the infection rates in primary TKA. The VP administration for preventing PJI is not recommended in primary TKA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Prevention of Prosthetic Joint Infection: From Traditional Approaches towards Quality Improvement and Data Mining. J Clin Med 2020; 9:jcm9072190.

Abstract
A projected increased use of total joint arthroplasties will naturally result in a related increase in the number of prosthetic joint infections (PJIs). Suppression of the local peri-implant immune response counters efforts to eradicate bacteria, allowing the formation of biofilms and compromising preventive measures taken in the operating room. For these reasons, the prevention of PJI should focus concurrently on the following targets: (i) identifying at-risk patients; (ii) reducing “bacterial load” perioperatively; (iii) creating an antibacterial/antibiofilm environment at the site of surgery; and (iv) stimulating the local immune response. Despite considerable recent progress made in experimental and clinical research, a large discrepancy persists between proposed and clinically implemented preventative strategies. The ultimate anti-infective strategy lies in an optimal combination of all preventative approaches into a single “clinical pack”, applied rigorously in all settings involving prosthetic joint implantation. In addition, “anti-infective” implants might be a choice in patients who have an increased risk for PJI. However, further progress in the prevention of PJI is not imaginable without a close commitment to using quality improvement tools in combination with continual data mining, reflecting the efficacy of the preventative strategy in a particular clinical setting.

Abstract
Introduction Infection remains a persistent complication of penile prosthesis (PP) surgery. Despite popularity of Mulcahy’s PP washout protocol, Betadine has known tissue toxicity. Aim We evaluated PP infection rate based on the type of intraoperative irrigation used, ½ strength Betadine vs vancomycin/gentamicin. Methods We reviewed a prospective database of men undergoing primary, revision, and salvage PPs. No other changes to operative or perioperative techniques occurred after the change in irrigation solution. Univariate and logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate differences in infection rate with use of Betadine vs vancomycin/gentamicin irrigation. Potential confounders were reviewed. Main Outcome Measure The primary outcome was rate of PP infection before and after change of intraoperative irrigation. Results From 2014 to 2018, 217 patients underwent PP placement at our institution by a single surgeon; of whom, 21 (9.7%) experienced an infection (primary = 10 [7.1%], revision = 11 [17.19%], salvage = 0 [0%]). Overall, 152 (70%) received irrigation with Betadine and 65 (30%) with Vancomycin/Gentamicin. Univariate analysis demonstrated significantly increased infection rates with Betadine irrigation (odds ratio [OR]: 4.64, P = .006) and with revision surgery (OR: 2.68, P = .02). Significance of increased infection rate with Betadine was maintained (OR: 9.3; P = .025) after controlling for age, body mass index, Charlson comorbidity index, smoking, diabetes, primary vs revision/salvage, prior penile surgery, use of ectopic reservoir, and adjunctive glanulopexy. Conclusions Changing from intraoperative Betadine to vancomycin/gentamicin solution dramatically reduced infection rates among men undergoing PP placement in both primary and revision cases. We hypothesize that differences in infection rate may relate to the relative toxicity or non-sterile nature of Betadine. Manka MG, Yang D, Andrews J, et al.

Abstract
Cutibacterium acnes is the most prevalent cause of joint infection after shoulder surgery. Current methods for decolonizing this bacterium from the shoulder region have proved ineffective owing to its unique niche within dermal sebaceous glands and hair follicles. When we are making decisions to decolonize the skin of C acnes, the risks associated with decolonization must be balanced by the potential benefits of reduced deep tissue inoculation. The purpose of this review was to describe currently available methods of decolonization and their efficacy.

Abstract
Objectives Irrigation is the cornerstone of treating skeletal infection by eliminating pathogens in wounds. A previous study shows that irrigation with normal saline (0.9%) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) could improve the removal of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) compared with normal saline (NS) alone. However, it is still unclear whether EDTA solution is effective against infection with drug-resistant bacteria. Methods We established three wound infection models (skin defect, bone-exposed, implant-exposed) by inoculating the wounds with a variety of representative drug-resistant bacteria including methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), extended spectrum beta-lactamase-producing E. coli (ESBL-EC), multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MRPA), vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE), multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MRAB), multidrug-resistant Enterobacter (MRE), and multidrug-resistant Proteus mirabilis (MRPM). Irrigation and debridement were repeated until the wound culture became negative. The operating times required to eliminate pathogens in wounds were compared through survival analysis. Results Compared with other groups (NS, castile soap, benzalkonium chloride, and bacitracin), the EDTA group required fewer debridement and irrigation operations to achieve pathogen eradication in all three models of wound infection. Conclusion Irrigation with EDTA solution was more effective than the other irrigation fluids used in the treatment of wound infections caused by drug-resistant pathogens. Cite this article: Z.

Abstract
AIM The purpose of the study was to establish the effectiveness of Remaxol in restoring tissue reparative ability of laparotomy wound in acute severe pancreatitis. MATERIAL AND METHODS The work is based on the results of experimental and clinical studies. Experiments were carried out using acute total pancreatic necrosis model under anesthesia on 30 dogs. Furthermore, 28 patients with acute severe pancreatitis were examined and underwent surgery on various purulent-necrotic complications. In the postoperative period, healing and metabolic processes were evaluated in the tissues along the sutures line of the laparotomy wound. Also, such parameters as endogenous intoxication, oxidative stress, and phospholipase activity were evaluated at the organism level. In the studied groups, Remaxol is included in the postoperative therapy. RESULTS It has been established that during acute severe pancreatitis reparative potential of tissues is significantly reduced, which is caused by a significant disruption of trophism, activation of phospholipases and peroxidation of membrane lipids. Disorders of homeokinesis at the organism level play a negative role in tissue reparative potential reduction. Inclusion of Remaxol in the complex therapy of acute pancreatitis leads to a decrease in duration of wound healing by reduction in the phase of inflammation. Optimization of the healing process occurs due to complex effect of the drug at organ and body level, which results in improvement of the trophism and, what's more, stabilizes membranes of regenerating cells. CONCLUSION In case of acute severe pancreatitis, the use of Remaxol in early postoperative period in the complex therapy leads to a significant correction of factors that adversely affect regeneration and contributes to the restoration of tissue reparative potential.

Abstract
The study aims to assess the effects of antibiotics (ABs), which are typically used in spinal infection prophylaxis, on the formation of epidural fibrosis (EF). Specifically, we investigated the effect of rifamycin and gentamycin on EF formation in laminectomized rats. Thirty-two rats were randomly and equally divided into four groups as follows: laminectomy and physiological saline (0.9% NaCl) solution (control); laminectomy and rifamycin; laminectomy and gentamicin; and laminectomy and a mixture of rifamycin and gentamicin. Laminectomy was performed on L1 and L2 vertebrae in all rats. One month after spinal surgery, spinal tissue samples surrounding the laminectomy were cut with a microtome and stained with hematoxylin-eosin and Masson's trichrome. The histopathological analysis included examining the extent of EF, fibroblast cell density, and cartilage and bone regeneration. Statistical analysis was performed using the IBM SPSS Statistics 22 program (SPSS IBM, Turkey). A value of p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. EF value differences between the AB treatment groups and the control group were statistically significant (p = 0.030). Specifically, binary comparisons indicated that the EF value was significantly higher in the rifamycin group than that in the control group (p = 0.003; p < 0.05). Our study suggests that locally applied ABs, especially rifamycin, should be diluted before administration to the epidural space.

Abstract
Aims The results of irrigation and debridement with component retention (IDCR) in the treatment of acutely infected total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) have been variable. The aim of this study was to assess the outcome after IDCR when combined with chronic antibiotic suppression. We also evaluated survivorship free from subsequent infection, removal of the components, and death, as well as the risk factors for failure. Patients and Methods This was a single-centre retrospective review of 134 infected primary TKAs that were treated with IDCR. Infections within four weeks of the procedure were defined as acute postoperative infections, and those occurring more than four weeks after the procedure with symptoms for less than three weeks were defined as acute haematogenous infections. Patients were treated with intravenous antibiotics for four to six weeks, followed by chronic oral antibiotic suppression. Estimates of survival were made using a competing risk analysis. The mean follow-up was five years (2.1 to 13). Results The infection was an acute postoperative infection in 23 TKAs and an acute haematogenous infection in 111 TKAs. The incidence of subsequent infection was 36% in those with an acute postoperative infection and 33% in those with a haematogenous infection, five years postoperatively (p = 0.40). Age < 60 years increased the risk of subsequent infection (hazard ratio (HR) 2.4; p = 0.009) and removal of the components (HR 2.8; p = 0.007). Infection with a staphylococcal species increased the risk of subsequent infection (HR 3.6; p < 0.001), and removal of the components (HR 3.2; p = 0.002). Musculoskeletal Infection Society host type and local extremity grade, body mass index (BMI), the duration of symptoms, gender, and the presence of a monoblock tibial component had no significant effect on the outcome. Conclusion In a rigorously defined group of acute periprosthetic infections after TKA treated with IDCR and chronic antibiotic suppression, the infection-free survival at five years was 66%. The greatest risk factor for failure was an infection with a staphylococcal species, followed by age of < 60 years. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2018;100-B:1471–76.

Abstract
Background and purpose - Vancomycin may be an important drug for intravenous perioperative antimicrobial prophylaxis in spine surgery. We assessed single-dose vancomycin intervertebral disc, vertebral cancellous bone, and subcutaneous adipose tissue concentrations using microdialysis in a pig model. Material and methods - 8 female pigs received 1,000 mg of vancomycin intravenously as a single dose over 100 minutes. Microdialysis probes were placed in the C3-C4 intervertebral disc, C3 vertebral cancellous bone, and subcutaneous adipose tissue, and vancomycin concentrations were obtained over 8 hours. Venous blood samples were obtained as reference. Results - Ranging from 0.24 to 0.60, vancomycin tissue penetration, expressed as the ratio of tissue to plasma area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to the last measured value, was incomplete for all compartments. The lowest penetration was found in the intervertebral disc. The time to a mean clinically relevant minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 4 µg/mL was 3, 17, 25, and 156 min for plasma, subcutaneous adipose tissue, vertebral cancellous bone, and the intervertebral disc, respectively. In contrast to the other compartments, a mean MIC of 8 µg/mL was not reached in the intervertebral disc. An approximately 3-times longer elimination rate was observed in the intervertebral disc in comparison with all the other compartments (p < 0.001), and the time to peak drug concentration was higher for all tissues compared with plasma Interpretation - Preoperative administration of 1,000 mg of vancomycin may provide adequate vancomycin tissue concentrations with a considerable delay, though tissue penetration was incomplete. However, in order also to achieve adequate intervertebral disc concentrations in all individuals and accommodating a potentially higher MIC target, supplemental application of vancomycin may be necessary.

Abstract
Periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) are uncommon but not rare and have significant morbidity and financial implications. Local antibiotics have been used successfully in other areas of orthopedics to reduce postoperative infections, but this method has not been proven in total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Beginning January 1, 2014, our primary investigators began using surgical site lavage with providone-iodine solution and administering 2 g of vancomcyin powder in the surgical wound prior to capsule closure for all primary and revision total hip and knee arthroplasties. We performed a retrospective chart review of patients two years prior to this date and two years after to compare occurrence of PJI. The groups were broken down into patients who received local antibiotics versus those who did not. The groups were further broken down by type of surgery performed; primary or revision total hip or knee arthroplasty. Administration of local antibiotics was preventative for PJI only in the primary total knee arthroplasty group (aOR = 0.28, 0.09-0.89). Administration of local antibiotics trended towards a preventative effect for PJI in the other groups but was not statistically significant. Patients receiving local antibiotics had similar blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels postoperatively compared to the no antibiotics group indicating minimal systemic effects of local vancomycin powder. While the use of local antibiotics may prevent PJI, more data is required especially in the revision arthroplasty groups.

Abstract
Background and purpose - The incidence of orthopedic methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections is increasing. Vancomycin may therefore play an increasingly important role in orthopedic perioperative antimicrobial prophylaxis. Studies investigating perioperative bone and soft tissue concentrations of vancomycin are sparse and challenged by a lack of appropriate methods. We assessed single-dose plasma, subcutaneous adipose tissue (SCT) and bone concentrations of vancomycin using microdialysis in male patients undergoing total knee replacement. Methods - 1,000 mg of vancomycin was administered postoperatively intravenously over 100 minutes to 10 male patients undergoing primary total knee replacement. Vancomycin concentrations in plasma, SCT, cancellous, and cortical bone were measured over the following 8 hours. Microdialysis was applied for sampling in solid tissues. Results - For all solid tissues, tissue penetration of vancomycin was significantly impaired. The time to a mean clinically relevant minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 2 mg/L was 3, 36, 27, and 110 min for plasma, SCT, cancellous, and cortical bone, respectively. As opposed to the other compartments, a mean MIC of 4 mg/L could not be reached in cortical bone. The area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to the last measured value and peak drug concentrations (Cmax) for SCT, cancellous, and cortical bone was lower than that of free plasma. The time to Cmax was higher for all tissues compared with free plasma. Interpretation - Postoperative penetration of vancomycin to bone and SCT was impaired and delayed in male patients undergoing total knee replacement surgery. Adequate perioperative vancomycin concentrations may not be reached using standard prophylactic dosage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Standard surgical treatment for a periprosthetic knee infection has been based on a staged surgical technique, in order to assure infection eradication prior to implantation of a new prosthesis. METHODS In this article, we discuss our surgical technique in undertaking a single-stage exchange of a chronic knee periprosthetic infection. RESULTS This technique, which is based on the fundamental principles of controlling infection, preventing recurrence, and restoring function, has been shown to deliver high success rates. CONCLUSION As demonstrated, when undertaken under appropriate circumstances, a single-stage exchange combined with local and systemic antibiotic delivery can result in infection eradication comparable to a 2-staged exchange.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The global rise in infectious disease has led the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization to release new guidelines for the prevention of surgical site infection. METHODS In this article, we summarize current recommendations based on level of evidence, review unresolved and unaddressed issues, and supplement them with new literature. RESULTS Although the guidelines discuss major issues in reducing surgical site infection, many questions remain unanswered. CONCLUSION These guidelines will hopefully help in setting a standard of care based on best evidence available and focus investigators on areas where evidence is lacking.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The burden of revision arthroplasty surgery for infection is rising as the rate of primary arthroplasty surgery increases. Infected arthroplasty rates are now relatively low, but the sheer increase in volume is leading to considerable patient morbidity and significant increases in costs to the health care system. Single-stage revision for infection is one of the several accepted treatment options, but the indications and results are debated. This review aims to clarify the current evidence. METHODS MEDLINE/PubMed databases were reviewed for studies that looked at single- or one-stage revision knee or hip arthroplasty for infection. RESULTS There is increasing evidence that single-stage revision for infection can control infection and with decreased morbidity, mortality, and health care costs compared with a staged approach. However, the indications are still debated. Recently, there has been a determined effort to define an infected arthroplasty in a manner that will allow for standardization of reporting in the literature. The evidence supporting single stage for knee arthroplasty is catching up with the result with hip arthroplasty. High-quality data from randomized controlled trials are now pending. CONCLUSION After the gradual evolution of using the single-stage approach, with the widespread acceptance of this definition, we can now standardize comparisons across the world and move toward a refined definition of the ideal patient population for single-stage arthroplasty revision in both the hip and the knee population.

Abstract
AIM Studying influence of remaxol on reparative process of tissue reparation in a laparotomy wound. MATERIAL AND METHODS 90 patients with the acute appendicitis complicated by local peritonitis in the early postoperative period are examined. 50 patients received traditional therapy. Therapy of other 40 patients included Remaxol (intravenous introduction, daily within 5 days, of 400 ml). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION It is established that Remaxol optimizes the course of reparative process in laparotomy wound that was confirmed with data of tenziomety and wound exudate cytological research. Efficiency of a Remaxol is based on its capability to improve microcirculation, antiedematous action and its capability to reduce excessive intensity peroxide oxidation of membrane lipids, phospholipase activity and the phenomena of a hypoxia.
