Article Synopsis
- Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) poses significant risks after total hip arthroplasty (THA), and the study examined changes in patient demographics and comorbidities over 13 years at a major joint surgery center.
- The research included data from 423 PJI revision surgeries, showing an increase in patients with higher comorbidity (ASA-class 4) and early infection rates between 2008 and 2021.
- Results indicated a rise in 1-stage revisions and infections from Staphylococcus aureus, highlighting the growing difficulty in treating PJIs due to increasing comorbidity burdens among patients.
Background: Adverse reactions to metal debris (ARMD) have been a problem with metal-on-metal (MoM) hip systems for a decade. Unacceptably high revision rates have been described for both stemmed MoM total hip arthroplasties (THAs) and hip resurfacings. The aim of this study was to report survivorship and temporal trends of hip revisions in patients with MoM hips.
