Efficacy of Commercially Available Irrigation Solutions on Removal of Staphylococcus Aureus and Biofilm From Porous Titanium Implants: An In Vitro Study. J Arthroplasty 2024; 39:S292-S298. [PMID: 38889807 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.06.024] [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: 12/03/2023] [Revised: 06/10/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Periprosthetic joint infection remains a major problem. The bactericidal efficacy of commercial irrigation solutions for the treatment of infection is not well established in the presence of porous titanium (Ti) implants. This study compared the in vitro efficacy of five irrigation solutions on infected three-dimensional-printed porous Ti discs. METHODS Titanium discs (2 × 4 mm, 400, 700, and 1,000 μm) were infected with S. aureus (1 × 106 colony-forming unit/mL) and incubated for 3 hours or 3 days to create acute or chronic infection with biofilm. Discs were irrigated with saline, antibiotic, or antiseptic solutions, then repeatedly sonicated. Sonicates were cultured for bacterial quantification. Statistical analyses were performed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Tukey-Kramer post hoc testing (P < .05 significance). Biofilms were visualized by scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS Saline irrigation was ineffective in both groups. In acute infections with 400 μm pores, differences were found with saline versus solution #3 (P = .015) and #4 (P = .015). Solution #4 had the lowest bacterial counts for all pore sizes. For biofilm, irrigation with saline, solutions #1, #2, and #3 inadequately cleared bacteria in all pore sizes. Lower remaining concentrations were observed in #4 with 400μm pores compared to saline (P = .06) and #2 (P = .039). The scanning electron microscopy showed a reduction of biofilm in samples washed with #4. CONCLUSIONS Irrigation of infected porous Ti discs with saline, solutions #1 and #2 failed to reduce the bacterial load. The 400 μm discs consistently had more bacteria despite irrigation, highlighting the difficulty of removing bacteria from small pores. Solutions #3 and #4 reduced bacteria acutely, but only #4 demonstrated efficacy in clearing biofilm compared to saline. These results should be considered when treating periprosthetic joint infection in the presence of porous components and the potential presence of biofilm.

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.

J Arthroplasty 2024; 39:S294-S299. [PMID: 38723699 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.04.081] [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: 10/24/2023] [Revised: 04/28/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Polypropylene (PPE) mesh is commonly utilized to reconstruct catastrophic extensor mechanism disruptions in revision total knee arthroplasty. Unfortunately, these procedures are associated with a high rate of periprosthetic joint infection. The purpose of the current study was to: 1) visualize and quantify the progression of bacterial biofilm growth on PPE-mesh; and 2) determine which antiseptic solutions effectively remove viable bacteria. METHODS Knitted PPE mesh samples were cultured with either methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) or Escherichia coli (E. coli) for 7 days, with regular quantification of colony forming units (CFUs) and visualization using scanning electron microscopy to identify maturity. Immature (24 hour) and mature (72 hour) biofilm was treated with one of 5 commercial antiseptics for 3 minutes. A 0.05% chlorhexidine gluconate, a surfactant-based formulation of ethanol, acetic acid, sodium acetate, benzalkonium chloride, diluted povidone-iodine (0.35%), undiluted (10%) povidone-iodine, and 1:1 combination of 10% povidone-iodine and 3% hydrogen peroxide. A 3-log reduction in CFUs compared to saline was considered clinically meaningful. RESULTS The CFU counts plateaued, indicating maturity, at 72 hours for both MSSA and E. coli. The scanning electron microscopy confirmed confluent biofilm formation after 72 hours. The 10% povidone-iodine was clinically effective against all MSSA biofilms and immature E. coli biofilms. The 10% povidone-iodine with hydrogen peroxide was effective in all conditions. Only 10% povidone iodine formulations produced significantly (P < .0083) reduced CFU counts against mature biofilms. CONCLUSIONS Bacteria rapidly form biofilm on PPE mesh. Mesh contamination can be catastrophic, and clinicians should consider utilizing an antiseptic solution at the conclusion of mesh implantation. Undiluted povidone-iodine with hydrogen peroxide should be considered when attempting to salvage infected PPE mesh.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the viability of four Staphylococcal bacteriophages when exposed to different concentrations of commonly used lavage solutions in the surgical treatment of prosthetic joint infections (PJI). Four tailed Staphylococcal bacteriophages and six different lavage solutions (chlorhexidine 4%, hydrogen peroxide 3%, acetic acid 3%, povidone iodine 10%, sodium hypochlorite 0.5%, and Vashe solution) at 100%, 1%, and 0.01% concentrations were used in this experiment. In addition, the temporal impact of exposing bacteriophages to these lavage solutions was also evaluated at 5-min exposures and 24-h exposures. The results show that the titers of the four bacteriophages were statistically significantly decreased for all lavage solutions (100% and 1%) at 5-min exposures and 24-h exposures. However, with 0.01% concentrations of the lavage solutions, only acetic acid caused a statistically significant decrease in bacteriophage titers compared to normal saline control. Our findings suggest that tailed Staphylococcal bacteriophages do not remain stable in high concentrations of the most commonly used lavage solutions. However, at very dilute concentrations the bacteriophages do remain viable. This has important clinical ramifications in that it shows when using bacteriophage therapy for PJI it is critical to thoroughly wash out any lavage solutions before the introduction of therapeutic bacteriophages especially when acetic acid is used.

Application of the New Irrigation Protocol to Reduce Recurrence Rate in the Management Of Periprosthetic Joint Infection. Orthop Surg 2024; 16:577-584. [PMID: 38238252 PMCID: PMC10925507 DOI: 10.1111/os.13948] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2023] [Revised: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 10/24/2023] [Indexed: 02/15/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Irrigation is a conventional treatment for acute and chronic periprosthetic joint infections (PJI). However, there has been no unified standard for irrigation during surgery for PJI in the past, and the efficacy is uncertain. The purpose of this study is to create a new irrigation protocol to enhance the infection control rate and reduce the postoperative recurrence rate of PJI patients. METHODS We conducted a single-institution retrospective review with a total of 56 patients who underwent revision total hip or knee arthroplasties due to PJI from January 2011 to January 2022. Conventional irrigation (CI) was used in 32 cases, and standard operating procedure of irrigation (SOPI) was used in 24. The CI protocol carries out an empirical irrigation after debridement, which is quite random. Our SOPI protocol clearly stipulates the soaking concentration and time of hydrogen peroxide and povidone-iodine. The irrigation is carried out three times, and tissue samples are taken from multiple parts before and after irrigation, which are sent for microbial culture. The important statistical indicators were the rate of positive microbiological culture and postoperative recurrence rate with an average follow-up of 24 average months. RESULTS The drainage volume was lower in the SOPI group than in the CI group on postoperative day 3 (p < 0.01) and 7 (p = 0.016). In addition, the percentage of positive microbiological cultures after the third irrigation was less than that before (p < 0.01) and after (p < 0.01) the first irrigation. The most common causative organism was Staphylococcus aureus, which was detected in 25.0% and 12.5% of the SOPI and CI groups, respectively. The failure rate at the final follow-up was 8.3% and 31.3% (p = 0.039) for the SOPI and CI groups, respectively. CONCLUSION Compared with the traditional CI method, SOPI standardized the soaking time of hydrogen peroxide and povidone-iodine, increased the frequency of and irrigation, and proved that microorganisms were almost completely removed through the microbial culture of multiple tissues. SOPI has the potential to become a standardized irrigation process worthy of promotion, effectively reducing the postoperative recurrence rate of PJI patients.

Abstract
Introduction Multiple solutions are currently used to cleanse a deep neck infection (DNI), and a variety of devices are available to deliver wound irrigation solutions. An essential difference between these devices is the pressure that the irrigation solution exerts over the wound tissue. Objective To compare low-pressure and high-pressure irrigation delivery systems for wound cleansing in DNI. Methods we designed a retrospective cohort study and reviewed the medical records of patients operated on due to DNI from June 2016 to December 2017 at our institution. One cohort included patients treated with an intraoperative irrigation method that exerts low pressure over the irrigated tissue, and the other cohort, to a system capable of generating higher pressure. The Pearson Chi-squared test was used to analyze the data. Results A total of 42 patients whose ages ranged from 16 months to 72 years were included. The low-pressure irrigation system was used in 18 patients, and the high-pressure system was used in 24 patients. No statistical differences were observed regarding the irrigation methods, the complexity of the DNI, and the overall outcomes. Conclusions The present is the first study in which low- and high-pressure systems for wound lavage were evaluated in the treatment of DNI. When comparing these methods, we did not find one to be superior to the other; however, the additional cost associated with the high-pressure devices may not justify their in head and neck procedures.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients who undergo exploratory laparotomy (EL) in an emergent setting are at higher risk for surgical site infections (SSIs) compared to the elective setting. Packaged Food and Drug Administration-approved 0.05% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) irrigation solution reduces SSI rates in nonemergency settings. We hypothesize that the use of 0.05% CHG irrigation solution prior to closure of emergent EL incisions will be associated with lower rates of superficial SSI and allows for increased rates of primary skin closure. METHODS A retrospective observational study of all emergent EL whose subcutaneous tissue were irrigated with 0.05% CHG solution to achieve primary wound closure from March 2021 to June 2022 were performed. Patients with active soft-tissue infection of the abdominal wall were excluded. Our primary outcome is rate of primary skin closure following laparotomy. Descriptive statistics, including t-test and chi-square test, were used to compare groups as appropriate. A P value <0.05 was statistically significant. RESULTS Sixty-six patients with a median age of 51 y (18-92 y) underwent emergent EL. Primary wound closure is achieved in 98.5% of patients (65/66). Bedside removal of some staples and conversion to wet-to-dry packing changes was required in 27.3% of patients (18/66). We found that most of these were due to fat necrosis. We report no cases of fascial dehiscence. CONCLUSIONS In patients undergoing EL, intraoperative irrigation of the subcutaneous tissue with 0.05% CHG solution is a viable option for primary skin closure. Further studies are needed to prospectively evaluate our findings.

Abstract
In this study, we sought to synthesize chitosan nanoparticles (CS-NPs) and characterize their morphology, efficacy in inhibiting bacterial attachment, and efficacy in eradicating bacteria established on implantable hardware. CS-NPs possess desirable properties, including antibacterial properties in biofilm-mediated infections. CS-NPs were produced using ionic gelation and characterized via scanning electron microscope imaging. Staphylococcus aureus was incubated with CS-NPs at various concentrations and compared to a 1% povidone-iodine with 1% H2 O2 control in 24-well plates. Stainless steel bone screws were placed in six-well plates and inoculated with S. aureus. After 24 h, the screws were transferred to one of three solutions (saline, 40 mg/mL CS-NP, or 1% povidone-iodine with 1% H2 O2 ). Four screws from each group were vortexed in saline and plated. The remaining screw from each group was prepped and imaged to map the location of persistent bacteria. Synthesized CS-NPs had a mean diameter of 0.39 ± 0.13 μm and circularity of 0.87 ± 0.05. The percent inhibition of bacterial attachment was 73% at 20 mg/mL, 73% at 30 mg/mL, 75% at 40 mg/mL, 79% at 50 mg/mL, and 78% at 60 mg/mL. When compared to saline, the 40 mg/mL CS-NP solution reduced bacteria on the screws by 76%. No bacteria were retrieved from the 1% povidone-iodine with 1% H2 O2 group. This study demonstrated that CS-NP solution effectively inhibited S. aureus bacterial attachment and was more effective than saline in eradicating bacteria from orthopedic hardware, suggesting that CS-NPs have the potential for prevention and treatment of musculoskeletal infections as a component of an intraoperative surgical irrigation solution.

An In Vitro Study to Assess the Best Strategy for the Chemical Debridement of Periprosthetic Joint Infection. Antibiotics (Basel) 2023; 12:1507. [PMID: 37887208 PMCID: PMC10604180 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics12101507] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Revised: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 09/29/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Irrigation and debridement using an irrigation solution is a fundamental step during the surgical treatment of both acute and chronic periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). However, there is no consensus on the optimal solution, nor is there sufficient evidence on the optimal irrigation time and combination of solutions. Therefore, it is necessary to determine which solution or combination of solutions is most efficacious against biofilm, as well as the optimal irrigation time. We conducted an experimental in vitro model by inoculating stainless steel discs with ATCC strains of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant S. aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and a clinical strain of Staphylococcus epidermidis. The discs were all irrigated with commonly used antiseptic solutions (10% and 3% povidone iodine, hydrogen peroxide, 3% acetic acid, and Bactisure™) for 1 min, 3 min, and 5 min and their combinations for 9 min (3 min each) vs. sterile saline as a positive control. We evaluated the reduction in biofilm based on colony-forming unit (cfu) counts and in combination assays, also based on cell viability and scanning electron microscopy. All antiseptics alone reduced more than 90% of cfu counts after 1 min of irrigation; the worst results were for hydrogen peroxide and 3% acetic acid. When solutions were sequentially combined, the best results were observed for all those starting with acetic acid, in terms of both reduction of log cfu/mL counts and viable cells. We consider that a combination of antiseptic solutions, particularly that comprising the sequence acetic acid + povidone iodine + hydrogen peroxide, would be the best option for chemical debridement during PJI surgery.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the effectiveness of one-stage total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in the treatment of advanced active knee tuberculosis. Methods The clinical data of 38 patients with advanced active knee tuberculosis who received one-stage TKA between January 2011 and December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 20 males and 18 females. The age ranged from 20 to 84 years, with an average of 52.8 years. The body mass index ranged from 17 to 36 kg/m 2, with an average of 23.05 kg/m 2. The preoperative C reactive protein (CRP) was (23.49±4.72) mg/L, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was (45.95±8.82) mm/1 h. The Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score was 48.8±9.1. During the operation, the infected lesions of the knee joint were completely removed, and the operative area was repeatedly soaked with 3% hydrogen peroxide solution and 0.5% povidone iodine solution. The intraoperative pathological examination confirmed the tuberculosis of the knee joint, and systemic anti-tuberculosis treatment was performed. The operation time, postoperative hospitalization stay, postoperative anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy time, and complications were recorded. CRP and ESR were recorded and compared before and after operation. Anteroposterior and lateral X-ray films of the knee joint were taken to evaluate whether the prosthesis had signs of loosening and sinking, and to determine whether there was recurrence of tuberculosis. The knee joint function was evaluated by HSS score. With treatment failure due to any reason as the end event, the survival time of prosthesis was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier survival curve. Results All operations were successfully completed without fracture, vascular and nerve injury, deep vein thrombosis, and other complications. All incisions healed by first intention after operation. The operation time ranged from 80 to 135 minutes, with an average of 102.76 minutes; postoperative hospitalization stay was 5-16 days, with an average of 9.7 days; the duration of postoperative anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy ranged from 1 to 18 months, and the median duration was 12 months. All 38 cases were followed up 3-133 months (mean, 63.7 months). At last follow-up, CRP was (4.88±1.24) mg/L and ESR was (13.00±2.97) mm/1 h, both of which were significantly lower than those before operation ( t=20.647, P<0.001; t=20.886, P<0.001). During the follow-up, 3 patients (7.89%) had tuberculosis recurrence. Two patients had tuberculosis recurrence due to withdrawal of anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy at 1 and 2 months after operation, respectively. One patient was cured after debridement, preservation of prosthesis and anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy for 12 months, and 1 patient was cured after oral administration of anti-tuberculosis drugs for 12 months. Another 1 patient had recurrent tuberculosis and mixed infection ( Corynebacterium gehreni) at 2 months after operation, and the infection was not controlled after debridement, and finally the thigh was amputated. Except for the patients with recurrent infection, no complications such as prosthesis loosening, periprosthetic fracture, and periprosthetic infection were found. At last follow-up, the HSS score of the knee joint was 86.8±4.8, and the knee joint function significantly improved when compared with that before operation ( t=-31.198, P<0.001). Prosthesis survival time was (122.57±5.77) months [95% CI (111.25, 133.88) months], and the 10-year survival rate was 92.1%. Conclusion One-stage TKA combined with postoperative antituberculous chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced active knee tuberculosis can achieve satisfactory infection control and joint function.

Hydrogen Peroxide, Povidone-Iodine and Chlorhexidine Fail to Eradicate Staphylococcus aureus Biofilm from Infected Implant Materials. Life (Basel) 2023; 13:1230. [PMID: 37374013 DOI: 10.3390/life13061230] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2023] [Revised: 05/18/2023] [Accepted: 05/18/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide, povidone-iodine, and chlorhexidine are antiseptics that are commonly added to irrigants to either prevent or treat infection. There are little clinical data available that demonstrate efficacy of adding antiseptics to irrigants in the treatment of periprosthetic joint infection after biofilm establishment. The objective of the study was to assess the bactericidal activity of the antiseptics on S. aureus planktonic and biofilm. For planktonic irrigation, S. aureus was exposed to different concentrations of antiseptics. S. aureus biofilm was developed by submerging a Kirschner wire into normalized bacteria and allowing it to grow for forty-eight hours. The Kirschner wire was then treated with irrigation solutions and plated for CFU analysis. Hydrogen peroxide, povidone-iodine, and chlorhexidine were bactericidal against planktonic bacteria with over a 3 log reduction (p < 0.0001). Unlike cefazolin, the antiseptics were not bactericidal (less than 3 log reduction) against biofilm bacteria but did have a statistical reduction in biofilm as compared to the initial time point (p < 0.0001). As compared to cefazolin treatment alone, the addition of hydrogen peroxide or povidone-iodine to cefazolin treatment only additionally reduced the biofilm burden by less than 1 log. The antiseptics demonstrated bactericidal properties with planktonic S. aureus; however, when used to irrigate S. aureus biofilms, these antiseptics were unable to decrease biofilm mass below a 3 log reduction, suggesting that S. aureus biofilm has a tolerance to antiseptics. This information should be considered when considering antibiotic tolerance in established S. aureus biofilm treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is one of the most common causes of early revision for total hip and knee arthroplasty. Mechanical and chemical debridement typically referred to as debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) can be a successful technique to eradicate PJI in acute postoperative or acute hematogenous infections. This review will focus specifically on the indications, techniques, and outcomes of DAIR. DISCUSSION The success of mechanical and chemical debridement, or a DAIR operation, is reliant on a combination of appropriate patient selection and meticulous technique. There are many technical considerations to take into consideration. One of the most important factors in the success of the DAIR procedure is the adequacy of mechanical debridement. Techniques are surgeon-specific and perhaps contribute to the large variability in the literature on the success of DAIR. Factors that have been shown to be associated with success include the exchange of modular components, performing the procedure within seven days or less of symptom onset, and possibly adjunctive rifampin or fluoroquinolone therapy, though this remains controversial. Factors that have been associated with failure include rheumatoid arthritis, age greater than 80 years, male sex, chronic renal failure, liver cirrhosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. CONCLUSIONS DAIR is an effective treatment option for the management of an acute postoperative or hematogenous PJI in the appropriately selected patient with well-fixed implants.

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
Background Despite desirable microbicidal actions of irrigation solutions in surgical site infection treatment, several studies demonstrate potential cytotoxic effects. This study investigated tissue damage caused by irrigation solutions in the presence or absence of infection. Methods Air pouches were created in 60 mice and evenly divided into 2 groups as infected with Staphylococcus aureus and control. Groups were then subdivided both by type of solution and by timing after irrigation. Solutions included control (0.9% saline), bacitracin (33 IU/ml), 0.2% sodium oxychlorosene, 0.05% chlorhexidine gluconate, and 0.013% benzalkonium chloride. Results Inflammation decreased in infected pouches compared to the sterile ones for all solutions except bacitracin on day 0 and for all on day 7. On day 0, infected pouches had increased necrosis with bacitracin (P = .006), chlorhexidine gluconate (P = .18), and benzalkonium chloride (P = .07); on day 7, there was decreased necrosis in infected pouches for all solutions (P < .05) except for sodium oxychlorosene (P = .18). Edema decreased in infected pouches on day 0 for all solutions. On day 7, infected pouches had decreased edema with 0.9% saline, bacitracin, and benzalkonium chloride (P < .05) and increased edema with chlorhexidine gluconate (P < .05) and sodium oxychlorosene (P = .069). Bacitracin allowed for more bacteria growth than sodium oxychlorosene (P = .024), chlorhexidine gluconate (P = .025), and benzalkonium chloride (P = .025). Conclusions The presence of bacteria led to less immediate tissue inflammation and edema, while tissue necrosis varied over time. The current study may guide surgeons on which solution to use and whether to irrigate a possibly sterile wound or joint.

Abstract
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains a devastating complication after total joint arthroplasty. Bacteria involved in these infections are notorious for adhering to foreign implanted surfaces and generating a biofilm matrix. These biofilms protect the bacteria from antibiotic treatment and the immune system making eradication difficult. Current treatment strategies including debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention, and one- and two-stage revisions still present a relatively high overall failure rate. One of the main shortcomings that has been associated with this high failure rate is the lack of a robust approach to treating bacterial biofilm. Therefore, in this review, we will highlight new strategies that have the potential to combat PJI by targeting biofilm integrity, therefore giving antibiotics and the immune system access to the internal network of the biofilm structure. This combination antibiofilm/antibiotic therapy may be a new strategy for PJI treatment while promoting implant retention.

Abstract
» There are limited data that directly compare the efficacy of antiseptic irrigation solutions used for the prevention and treatment of periprosthetic joint infections in orthopaedic procedures; there is a notable lack of prospective data. » For prevention of periprosthetic joint infections, the strongest evidence supports the use of low-pressure povidone-iodine. » For the treatment of periprosthetic joint infections, delivering multiple solutions sequentially may be beneficial.
