The Mark Coventry Award: PhotothermAA Gel Combined With Debridement, Antibiotics, and Implant Retention Significantly Decreases Implant Biofilm Burden and Soft-Tissue Infection in a Rabbit Model of Knee Periprosthetic Joint Infection. J Arthroplasty 2024; 39:S2-S8. [PMID: 38401619 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.02.044] [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: 11/13/2023] [Revised: 02/12/2024] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 02/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a major complication of total joint arthroplasty. The underlying pathogenesis often involves the formation of bacterial biofilm that protects the pathogen from both host immune responses and antibiotics. The gold standard treatment requires implant removal, a procedure that carries associated morbidity and mortality risks. Strategies to preserve the implant while treating PJI are desperately needed. Our group has developed an anti-biofilm treatment, PhotothermAA gel, which has shown complete eradication of 2-week-old mature biofilm in vitro. In this study, we tested the anti-biofilm efficacy and safety of PhotothermAA in vivo when combined with debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR) in a rabbit model of knee PJI. METHODS New Zealand white rabbits (n = 21) underwent knee joint arthrotomy, titanium tibial implant insertion, and inoculation with Xen36 (bioluminescent Staphylococcus aureus) after capsule closure. At 2 weeks, rabbits underwent sham surgery (n = 6), DAIR (n = 6), or PhotothermAA with DAIR (n = 9) and were sacrificed 2 weeks later to measure implant biofilm burden, soft-tissue infection, and tissue necrosis. RESULTS The combination of anti-biofilm PhotothermAA with DAIR significantly decreased implant biofilm coverage via scanning electron microscopy compared to DAIR alone (1.8 versus 81.0%; P < .0001). Periprosthetic soft-tissue cultures were significantly decreased in the PhotothermAA with DAIR treatment group (log reduction: Sham 1.6, DAIR 2.0, combination 5.6; P < .0001). Treatment-associated necrosis was absent via gross histology of tissue adjacent to the treatment area (P = .715). CONCLUSIONS The addition of an anti-biofilm solution like PhotothermAA as a supplement to current treatments that allow implant retention may prove useful in PJI treatment.

The effect of different antibiotic combinations in calcium sulfate cement on the growth of Cutibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus periprosthetic shoulder infection isolates. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2024; 33:1457-1464. [PMID: 38417732 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2024.01.021] [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: 10/18/2023] [Revised: 12/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/01/2024] [Indexed: 03/01/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) of the shoulder are a devastating complication of shoulder arthroplasty and are commonly caused by Staphylococcus and Cutibacterium acnes. Absorbable calcium sulfate (CS) beads are sometimes used for delivering antibiotics in PJI. This study evaluates the in vitro effect of different combinations of gentamicin, vancomycin, and ertapenem in beads made from CS cement on the growth of C acnes and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CNS) strains. METHODS Three strains of C acnes and 5 strains of CNS from clinically proven shoulder PJI were cultured and plated with CS beads containing combinations of vancomycin, gentamicin, and ertapenem. Plates with C acnes were incubated anaerobically while plates with Staphylococcus were incubated aerobically at 37 °C. Zones of inhibition were measured at intervals of 3 and 7 days using a modified Kirby Bauer technique, and beads were moved to plates containing freshly streaked bacteria every seventh day. This process was run in triplicate over the course of 56 days. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS v. 28 with repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) and pairwise comparisons with Tukey correction. RESULTS In experiments with C acnes, beads containing ertapenem + vancomycin and vancomycin alone formed the largest zones of inhibition over time (P < .001). In experiments with Staphylococcus, beads containing vancomycin alone formed the largest zones of inhibition over time for all 5 strains (P < .001). Zones of inhibition were 1.4x larger for C acnes than for Staphylococcus with beads containing vancomycin alone. For both C acnes and Staphylococcus, beads containing ertapenem had the strongest initial effect, preventing all bacterial growth in C acnes and almost all growth for Staphylococcus during the first week but dropping substantially by the second week. Beads containing gentamicin alone consistently created smaller zones of inhibition than beads containing vancomycin alone, with vancomycin producing zones 5.3x larger than gentamicin in C acnes and 1.3x larger in Staphylococcus (P < .001). DISCUSSION These data suggest that for both C acnes and Staphylococcal species, CS beads impregnated with vancomycin were most effective at producing a robust antibiotic effect. Additionally, ertapenem may be a viable supplement in order to create a more potent initial antibiotic effect but is not as effective as vancomycin when used alone. Gentamicin alone was not effective in maintaining consistent and long-term antibiotic effects. These results indicate that amongst the antibiotics currently commercially available to be used with CS, vancomycin is consistently superior to gentamicin in the setting of C. acnes and CNS.

Biofilm on total joint replacement materials can be reduced through electromagnetic induction heating using a portable device. J Orthop Surg Res 2024; 19:304. [PMID: 38769535 PMCID: PMC11103973 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-024-04785-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Periprosthetic joint infection is a serious complication following joint replacement. The development of bacterial biofilms bestows antibiotic resistance and restricts treatment via implant retention surgery. Electromagnetic induction heating is a novel technique for antibacterial treatment of metallic surfaces that has demonstrated in-vitro efficacy. Previous studies have always employed stationary, non-portable devices. This study aims to assess the in-vitro efficacy of induction-heating disinfection of metallic surfaces using a new Portable Disinfection System based on Induction Heating. METHODS Mature biofilms of three bacterial species: S. epidermidis ATCC 35,984, S. aureus ATCC 25,923, E. coli ATCC 25,922, were grown on 18 × 2 mm cylindrical coupons of Titanium-Aluminium-Vanadium (Ti6Al4V) or Cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloys. Study intervention was induction-heating of the coupon surface up to 70ºC for 210s, performed using the Portable Disinfection System (PDSIH). Temperature was monitored using thermographic imaging. For each bacterial strain and each metallic alloy, experiments and controls were conducted in triplicate. Bacterial load was quantified through scraping and drop plate techniques. Data were evaluated using non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test for 2 group comparison. Statistical significance was fixed at p ≤ 0.05. RESULTS All bacterial strains showed a statistically significant reduction of CFU per surface area in both materials. Bacterial load reduction amounted to 0.507 and 0.602 Log10 CFU/mL for S. aureus on Ti6Al4V and CoCrMo respectively, 5.937 and 3.500 Log10 CFU/mL for E. coli, and 1.222 and 0.372 Log10 CFU/mL for S. epidermidis. CONCLUSIONS Electromagnetic induction heating using PDSIH is efficacious to reduce mature biofilms of S aureus, E coli and S epidermidis growing on metallic surfaces of Ti6Al4V and CoCrMo alloys.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pseudomonas species are a less common but devastating pathogen family in prosthetic joint infections (PJIs). Despite advancements in management, Pseudomonas PJIs remain particularly difficult to treat because of limited antibiotic options and robust biofilm formation. This study aimed to evaluate Pseudomonas PJI outcomes at a single institution and review outcomes reported in the current literature. METHODS All hip or knee PJIs at a single institution with positive Pseudomonas culture were evaluated. Forty-two patients (24 hips, 18 knees) meeting inclusion criteria were identified. The primary outcome of interest was infection clearance at 1 year after surgical treatment, defined as reassuring aspirate without ongoing antibiotic treatment. Monomicrobial and polymicrobial infections were analyzed separately. A focused literature review of infection clearance after Pseudomonas PJIs was performed. RESULTS One-year infection clearance was 58% (n = 11/19) for monomicrobial PJIs and 35% (n = 8/23) for polymicrobial PJIs. Among monomicrobial infections, the treatment success was 63% for patients treated with DAIR and 55% for patients treated with two-stage exchange. Monotherapy with an oral or intravenous antipseudomonal agent (minimum 6 weeks) displayed the lowest 1-year clearance of 50% (n = 6/12). Resistance to antipseudomonal agents was present in 16% (n = 3/19), and two of eight patients with monomicrobial and polymicrobial PJIs developed resistance to antipseudomonal therapy in a subsequent Pseudomonas PJI. Polymicrobial infections (55%) were more common with a mortality rate of 44% (n = 10/23) at a median follow-up of 3.6 years. CONCLUSION Pseudomonas infections often present as polymicrobial PJIs but are difficult to eradicate in either polymicrobial or monomicrobial setting. A review of the current literature on Pseudomonas PJI reveals favorable infection clearance rates (63 to 80%) after DAIR while infection clearance rates (33 to 83%) vary widely after two-stage revision.

Abstract
Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is a common procedure performed throughout the entire world in hopes of alleviating debilitating hip or knee pain. The projected number of TJAs performed in the United States alone is projected to exceed 1.9 million by 2030 and 5 million by 2040. With the significant increase in TJA performed, more periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are likely to be encountered. PJIs are a devastating complication of TJA. The economic and clinical burden must be understood and respected to minimize occurrence and allow optimal patient outcomes.

DAIR in treating chronic PJI after total knee arthroplasty using continuous local antibiotic perfusion therapy: a case series study. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2024; 25:36. [PMID: 38183061 PMCID: PMC10768161 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-024-07165-y] [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: 09/16/2023] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 01/07/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Antimicrobial agents are administered via intramedullary antibiotic perfusion (iMAP)/intrasoft tissue antibiotic perfusion (iSAP) to infected lesions to control osteoarticular and soft tissue infections. Continuous local antibiotic perfusion (CLAP) has been reported to be useful. This study aimed to investigate the outcomes of DAIR combined with CLAP for chronic PJI after total knee arthroplasty performed at our hospital. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Six patients (male; one case, female; five cases, mean age 79.5 years (70-94)) underwent CLAP for chronic PJI after TKA at our hospital between July 2020 and June 2022. They were followable for at least one year after surgery. Seven months (17-219), with a mean follow-up of 24.3 months (12-36). In addition to direct debridement and insert exchange, systemic antimicrobial treatment, and CLAP with gentamicin were performed using NPWT. We investigated the organisms causing the inflammation, the duration of iMAP/iSAP implantation, the maximum daily dose of GM, the maximum GM blood concentration, and the presence or absence of GM-induced adverse events. RESULT Two of six patients had a recurrence of infection at five weeks and five months after initial CLAP and required repeat CLAP treatment, but all patients could preserve their components. The organisms responsible for the flare-ups were MSSA in three cases: ESBL-producing E. coli, mixed MSSA and streptococcal infection, Klebsiella pneumonia in one case each, and unknown pathogens in one case. CLAP therapy for all patients was administered eight times in 6 cases: iMAP, mean: 10.0 days (5-16); iSAP, mean: 19.3 days (15-28); GM dose, mean: 162.5 mg/day (80-240); and GM blood concentration, mean: 1.4 µg/mL (0.2-5.0). Adverse events included one case of reversible acute kidney injury during CLAP in a patient with recurrent infection. DAIR with CLAP for chronic post-TKA infection can be a useful treatment option to preserve components and allow the infection to subside, provided the implant is not markedly loosened.

Abstract
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains among the most challenging and costly complications. PJI rates vary from 0.39% to 3.9% after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study aimed to identify the causative microorganisms involved and to report our experience of subsequent treatment of PJI following over 7000 TKAs performed over 19 years. A retrospective study was conducted on 4547 patients (7019 cases) from March 2000 to September 2019. The incidence rate of PJI was 0.5%. Gram-positive bacteria accounted for 88.8% (n = 16) of the 18 cases, and S. aureus was the most commonly isolated pathogen (n = 7, 38.8%). There were six cases of MSSA and one case of MRSA. Streptococcus species (n = 7, 38.8%) also showed the same pattern. The CoNS species (n = 2, 11.1%) and Gram-negative bacteria (n = 1, 5.5%) were also reported. Candida species were isolated from 1 patient (5.5%). Successful I&D and implant retention (DAIR procedures) was achieved at the final follow-up in 19 patients (82.6%). The incidence of causative microorganisms was different for each PJI onset type. The overall infection rate of PJI was less than 1%. Although the success rate of DAIR procedures is lower than the two-stage exchange arthroplasty in this study, it is possible to achieve acceptable success rates if DAIR procedures are carefully selected considering the virulence of the microorganism, duration since symptom onset, and early-onset infection.

Abstract
GOAL The purpose of this review is to provide a systematic and comprehensive overview of the available literature on the treatment of an early prosthetic joint infection (PJI) after revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and provide treatment guidelines. METHODS This systematic review was performed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. The search was conducted using the electronic databases of PubMed, Trip, Cochrane, Embase, LILACS and SciElo. After the inclusion of the relevant articles, we extracted the data and results to compose a treatment algorithm for early and acute PJI after revision TKA. RESULTS After applying the in- and exclusion criteria, seven articles were included in this systematic review focusing on debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR) for PJI following revision TKA, of which one was prospective and six were retrospective. All studies were qualified as level IV evidence. CONCLUSIONS The current literature suggests that DAIR is a valid treatment option for early infections after revision TKA with success rates of 50-70%. Repeat DAIR shows success rates of around 50%. Further research should be aimed at predicting successful (repeat/two-stage) DAIRs in larger study populations, antibiotic regimes and the cost effectiveness of a second DAIR after revision TKA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This cross-sectional survey aimed to evaluate the oral health behaviour of patients prior to endoprosthesis (EP), as well as the handling of oral health topics by German orthopaedic surgeons. MATERIALS AND METHODS Consecutive patients prior to EP answered a questionnaire regarding oral health behaviour, oral hygiene, oral complaints and information on the relationship between EP and oral health. Another questionnaire was digitally mailed to orthopaedic centres throughout Germany. This questionnaire included the importance of oral health for EP and issues on dental referrals/consultations prior to EP. RESULTS A total of 172 patients were included in the study, of whom 35.5% of patients reported that they were informed about oral health and EP. Half of the individuals reported regular professional tooth cleaning, and less than one-third (29.1%) reported of the performance of interdental cleaning. Information on oral health and EP was associated with regular professional tooth cleaning (yes: 59.8% vs. no: 35.6%, p = 0.01). A total of 221 orthopaedic clinics were included in the study, of which only a few had dental contact (14%), although the majority (92.8%) of the clinics were familiar with causal relationships between oral health and EP infections. Less than half of the centres reported of either verbal (48%) or written (43.9%) referrals for their patients to the dentist. University Medical Centres reported of more frequent dental contacts (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION Prior to EP, patients exhibited deficits in oral health behaviour, and orthopaedic clinics exhibited a lack of dental collaboration. Improvements in interdisciplinary care, especially regarding practical concepts for patient referral and education on oral health, appear to be necessary.

Si Y, Liu H, Yu H, Jiang X, Sun D. MOF-derived CuO@ZnO modified titanium implant for synergistic antibacterial ability, osteogenesis and angiogenesis. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2022; 219:112840. [PMID: 36113223 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2022.112840] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2022] [Revised: 08/27/2022] [Accepted: 09/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Surface modification of titanium implants with antibacterial, osteogenic and even angiogenic capabilities are essential to enhance their clinical applicability. Herein, metal-organic framework (MOF) derived CuO@ZnO composite was grafted onto the polydopamine (PDA) modified titanium alloy to achieve vascularized bone regeneration. The CuO@ZnO-coated titanium effectively inhibits the formation of bacterial biofilms and the sterilization rate of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) reaches 99%. Benefitting from the intrinsic porous architecture of MOFs, the Zn2+ and Cu2+ could be controllably released to facilitate the production of excess intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) inside the bacteria, which ensures the excellent antibacterial performance of the composite coating. The CuO@ZnO-coated titanium also exhibits good cytocompatibility, effectively promotes the adhesion and proliferation of the human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) and reduces the level of the cell apoptosis. The up-regulated expression of the osteogenesis-related genes and the superior extracellular matrix mineralization reveals that the CuO@ZnO coating possesses fantastic osteoinductive properties. In addition, the transwell and tube formation assays of the human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) suggest the superior angiogenesis ability of the CuO@ZnO-coated titanium. The released Cu2+ stimulated the angiogenesis of the HUVECs in vitro by up-regulating the expression of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). These findings will provide new insight into the development of multifunctional titanium implants for clinical applications.

Genomics of Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis from Periprosthetic Joint Infections and Correlation to Clinical Outcome. Microbiol Spectr 2022; 10:e0218121.

Abstract
The approach of sequencing or genotyping to characterize the pathogenic potential of staphylococci from orthopedic device-related infection (ODRI) has been applied in recent studies. These studies described the genomic carriage of virulence in clinical strains and compared it with those in commensal strains. Only a few studies have directly correlated genomic profiles to patient outcome and phenotypic virulence properties in periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs). We investigated the association between genomic variations and virulence-associated phenotypes (biofilm-forming ability and antimicrobial resistance) in 111 staphylococcal strains isolated from patients with PJI and the infection outcome (resolved/unresolved). The presence of a strong biofilm phenotype in Staphylococcus aureus and an antibiotic-resistant phenotype in Staphylococcus epidermidis were both associated with treatment failure of PJI. In S. epidermidis, multidrug resistance (MDR) and resistance to rifampicin were associated with unresolved infection. Sequence type 45 (ST45) and ST2 were particularly enriched in S. aureus and S. epidermidis, respectively. S. epidermidis ST2 caused the majority of relapses and was associated with MDR and strong biofilm production, whereas ST215 correlated with MDR and non/weak biofilm production. S. aureusagr II correlated with resolved infection, while S. epidermidisagr I was associated with strong biofilm production and agr III with non/weak production. Collectively, our results highlight the importance of careful genomic and phenotypic characterization to anticipate the probability of the strain causing treatment failure in PJI. Due to the high rate of resistant S. epidermidis strains identified, this study provides evidence that the current recommended treatment of rifampicin and a fluoroquinolone should not be administered without knowledge of the resistance pattern. IMPORTANCE This study addresses the presence and frequency of particular genetic variants and virulence factors found in staphylococcal bacteria causing periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) of the hip and knee to ascertain their clinical relevance as predictors of treatment failure. We characterized the genetic virulence traits of a large collection of clinical staphylococci isolated from patients with PJI and evaluated their association with the patient’s infection outcome. The results showed that S. aureus strains that produced strong biofilms and S. epidermidis strains with resistance to several antibiotics associated significantly with unresolved infection. Some particular genetic variants associated with biofilm formation and multidrug resistance. These traits should be considered important risk factors for the diagnosis and treatment guidance in PJI.

[PMID: 35612616 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-022-04469-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2022] [Accepted: 04/24/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess the role of sonication fluid cultures in detecting musculoskeletal infections in orthopedic revision surgery in patients suspected of having peri-prosthetic joint infection (PJI), fracture-related infections (FRI), or postoperative spinal implant infections (PSII). METHODS Between 2016 and 2019, 149 cases with a data set including sonication fluid cultures and tissue specimen and histological analysis were included. Accuracy of each diagnostic tool as well as the influence of antibiotic therapy was analyzed. Pathogens identified in the sonication cultures and in the associated tissue samples were compared based on the matching of the antibiograms. Therapeutic benefits were then assessed. RESULTS Of 149 cases, 43.6% (n = 65) were identified as PJI, 2.7% (n = 4) as FRI, 12.8% (n = 19) as PSII, 6.7% (n = 10) as aseptic non-union, and 34.2% (n = 51) as aseptic implant loosening. The sensitivity and specificity of tissue and synovial specimens showed no significant difference with respect to sonication fluid cultures (sensitivity/specificity: tissue: 68.2%/96.7%; sonication fluid cultures: 60.2%/98.4%). The administration of antibiotics over 14 days prior to microbiological sampling (n = 40) resulted in a lower sensitivity of 42.9% each. Histological analysis showed a sensitivity 86.3% and specificity of 97.4%. In 83.9% (n = 125) of the cases, the results of sonication fluid cultures and tissue specimens were identical. Different microorganisms were found in only four cases. In 17 cases, tissue samples (n = 5) or sonication (n = 12) were false-negatives. CONCLUSION Sonication fluid culture showed no additional benefit compared to conventional microbiological diagnostics of tissue and synovial fluid cultures. Preoperative administration of antibiotics had a clearly negative effect on microbiologic test accuracy. In over 83.9% of the cases, sonication fluid and tissue cultures showed identical results. In the other cases, sonication fluid culture did not further contribute to the therapy decision, whereas other factors, such as fistulas, cell counts, or histological analysis, were decisive in determining therapy.

Abstract
With the development of three-dimensional (3D) printed technology, 3D printed alloy implants, especially titanium alloy, play a critical role in biomedical fields such as orthopedics and dentistry. However, untreated titanium alloy implants always possess a bioinert surface that prevents the interface osseointegration, which is necessary to perform surface modification to enhance its biological functions. In this article, we discuss the principles and processes of chemical, physical, and biological surface modification technologies on 3D printed titanium alloy implants in detail. Furthermore, the challenges on antibacterial, osteogenesis, and mechanical properties of 3D-printed titanium alloy implants by surface modification are summarized. Future research studies, including the combination of multiple modification technologies or the coordination of the structure and composition of the composite coating are also present. This review provides leading-edge functionalization strategies of the 3D printed titanium alloy implants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peri and postoperative antibiotics are key adjuvant treatment tools in the management of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of rifampicin on the area under the moxifloxacin concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 hours (AUC0-24) in the synovial fluid of the knee joint, tibial bone, and adjacent subcutaneous tissue under steady-state conditions using microdialysis in a porcine model. METHODS Twenty female pigs were randomized to receive oral treatment with moxifloxacin monotherapy (Group A, n = 10) of 400 mg once daily for 3 days or a combination therapy (Group B, n = 10) of 400 mg of moxifloxacin once daily for 3 days and 450 mg of rifampicin twice daily for 7 days. Microdialysis was used for sampling the synovial fluid of the knee joint, tibial cancellous and cortical bone, and adjacent subcutaneous tissues. Plasma samples were taken as a reference. Measurements were obtained for 24 hours. RESULTS Coadministration of moxifloxacin and rifampicin resulted in reductions of the moxifloxacin AUC0-24 in all targeted tissue compartments by 67% to 85% (p < 0.05). The corresponding change in plasma was 20% (p = 0.49). For both groups, the tissue penetration (the ratio of tissue free fraction AUC0-24 to plasma free fraction AUC0-24 [fAUCtissue/fAUCplasma]) was incomplete in all investigated compartments. The highest moxifloxacin tissue penetration was in the knee joint synovial fluid: 0.59 (Group A) and 0.24 (Group B). The lowest tissue penetration was in the cortical bone: 0.17 (Group A) and 0.03 (Group B). CONCLUSIONS We found a significant reduction of the moxifloxacin concentration, expressed as the AUC0-24, in tissues relevant to acute PJI treatment when coadministered with rifampicin. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The concentrations within the targeted tissue compartments were reduced significantly more than the concentrations in plasma, which may be particularly important as plasma concentrations are used in clinical practice to assess moxifloxacin treatment sufficiency.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The virulence and antibiotic resistance profile of an infecting organism have been shown to impact the outcomes of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). However, there are no existing data on the outcomes of PJI caused by Corynebacterium striatum, a rare organism. Thus, our objective is to ascertain: (1) the treatment success of PJI caused by this rare organism and (2) patient characteristics in the setting of C striatum PJI. METHODS A retrospective review was conducted on 741 consecutive PJIs managed at 2 hospital facilities by 8 surgeons (February 4, 2015 to October 30, 2019). The inclusion criteria represented the presence of minimum 1 positive culture of C. striatum. After excluding 1 patient with no follow-up, 15 patients were finally analyzed (9 hips/6 knees). Out of 15 patients, 9 underwent explantation with spacer insertion, 5 underwent irrigation and debridement with polyexchange (I&D), and 1 underwent Girdlestone. Out of 9 explanted patients, only 6 cleared infection and were reimplanted. The clinical staging system for PJI was determined using McPherson classification. The mean follow-ups for I&D and explantation were 35 and 23.5 months, respectively. Success of reimplantation was determined using Delphi criteria. RESULTS Out of 5 I&D patients, 40% had to be reoperated because of persistent infection. Out of 6 explanted patients who were reimplanted, 67% failed. According to McPherson, 40% of I&D and 22.2% of explanted patients were significantly compromised hosts. CONCLUSION C. striatum PJI has a high-treatment failure rate in patient undergoing I&D or 2-stage revision surgery. Surgeons should be aware of the difficulty controlling this PJI and advise patients accordingly.

Abstract
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a serious complication of total hip arthroplasty. Staged revision surgery is considered effective in eradicating PJI. We aimed to determine the rate of infection resolution after each stage of staged revision surgery (first stage, repeat first stage, second stage, excision arthroplasty, and reimplantation) and to assess functional outcomes and the mortality rate at ten years in a consecutive series of 30 chronic PJI of total hip arthroplasties. Infection resolution was defined as no clinical nor laboratory evidence of infection at 24 months after the last surgery and after a minimum of 12 months following cessation of antimicrobial treatment. Four patients died within 24 months of their final surgery. Nineteen patients, 73% (worst-case analysis (wca) 63%), were infection free after 1 surgery; 22 patients, 85% (wca 73%), were infection free after 2 surgeries; and 26 patients, 100% (wca 87%), were infection free after three and four surgeries. The median Harris Hip Score was 41 prior to first revision surgery and improved to 74 at twelve months and 76 at ten years after the final surgery. Thirteen patients died at a mean of 64 months from first revision, giving a mortality rate of 43% at ten years, which is approximately 25% higher than that of an age-matched general population. The results show that with repeated aggressive surgical treatment, most PJIs of the hip are curable. Ten years after successful treatment of PJI, functional outcomes and pain are improved and maintained compared to before initial surgery, but this must be balanced against the high 10-year mortality. Level of evidence: cohort studies.

Plasma D-dimer Does Not Anticipate the Fate of Reimplantation in Two-stage Exchange Arthroplasty for Periprosthetic Joint Infection: A Preliminary Investigation. Clin Orthop Relat Res 2021; 479:1458-1468. [PMID: 33830953 PMCID: PMC8208420 DOI: 10.1097/corr.0000000000001738] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2020] [Accepted: 02/26/2021] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory markers such as the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels have always been a part of the diagnostic criteria for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), but they perform poorly anticipating the outcome of reimplantation. D-dimer has been reported in a small series as a potential marker to measure infection control after single-stage revisions to treat PJI. Nonetheless, its use to confirm infection control and decide the proper timing of reimplantation remains uncertain. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES (1) What is the best diagnostic threshold and accuracy values for plasma D-dimer levels compared with other inflammatory markers (ESR and CRP) or what varying combinations of these tests are associated with persistent infection after reimplantation? (2) Do D-dimer values above this threshold, ESR, CRP, and varying test combinations at the time of reimplantation indicate an increased risk of subsequent persistent infection after reimplantation? METHODS We retrospectively studied the electronic medical records of all 53 patients who had two-stage revisions for PJI and who underwent plasma D-dimer testing before reimplantation at one of two academic institutions from November 22, 2017 to December 5, 2020. During that period, all patients undergoing two-stage revisions also had a D-dimer test drawn. The minimum follow-up duration was 1 year. We are reporting at this early interval (rather than the more typical 2-year time point) because of the poorer-than-expected performance of this diagnostic test. Of these 53 patients, 17% (9) were lost to follow-up before 1 year and could not be analyzed; the remaining 44 patients (17 hips and 27 knees) were studied here. The mean follow-up was 503 ± 135 days. Absence or persistence of infection after reimplantation were defined according to the Delphi criteria. The conditions included in these criteria were: (1) control of infection, as characterized by a healed wound without fistula, drainage, or pain; (2) no subsequent surgical intervention owing to infection after reimplantation; and (3) no occurrence of PJI-related mortality. The absence of any of the aforementioned conditions until the final follow-up examination was deemed a persistent infection after reimplantation. Baseline patient characteristics were not different between patients with persistent infection (n = 10) and those with absence of it after reimplantation (n = 34) as per the Delphi criteria. Baseline patient characteristics evaluated were age, gender, self-reported race (white/Black/other) or ethnicity (nonHispanic/Hispanic), BMI, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) status, smoking status(smoker/nonsmoker), and joint type (hip/knee). The optimal D-dimer threshold to differentiate between persistence of infection or not after reimplantation was calculated using the Youden index. A receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to test the accuracy of D-dimer, ESR, CRP, and their combinations to establish associations, if any, with persistent infection after reimplantation. A Kaplan-Meier survival analysis (free of infection after reimplantation) with a log-rank test was performed to investigate if D-dimer, ESR, and CRP were associated with absence of infection after reimplantation. Survival or being free of infection after reimplantation was determined as per Delphi criteria. Alpha was set at p < 0.05. RESULTS In the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, with an area under the curve of 0.62, D-dimer showed low accuracy and did not anticipate persistent infection after reimplantation. The optimal D-dimer threshold differentiating between persistence of infection or not after reimplantation was 3070 ng/mL. When using this threshold, D-dimer demonstrated a sensitivity of 90% (95% CI 55.5% to 99.7%) and negative predictive value of 94% (95% CI 70.7% to 99.1%), but low specificity (47% [95% CI 29.8% to 64.9%]) and positive predictive value (33% [95% CI 25.5% to 42.2%]). Although D-dimer showed the highest sensitivity, the combination of D-dimer with ESR and CRP showed the highest specificity (91% [95% CI 75.6% to 98%]) defining the persistence of infection after reimplantation. Based on plasma D-dimer levels, with the numbers available, there was no difference in survival free from infection after reimplantation (Kaplan-Meier survivorship free from infection at minimum 1 year in patients with D-dimer below 3070 ng/mL versus survivorship free from infection with D-dimer above 3070 ng/mL: 749 days [95% CI 665 to 833 days] versus 615 days [95% CI 471 to 759 days]; p = 0.052). Likewise, there were no associations between high ESR and CRP levels and persistent infection after reimplantation, but the number of events was very small, and insufficient power is a concern with this analysis. CONCLUSION In this preliminary series, with the numbers available, D-dimer alone had poor accuracy and was not associated with survival free from infection after reimplantation in patients who underwent two-stage exchange arthroplasty. D-dimer alone might be used to establish that PJI is unlikely, and the combination of D-dimer, ESR, and CRP should be considered to confirm PJI diagnosis in the setting of reimplantation.Level of Evidence Level IV, diagnostic study.
