Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the effectiveness of suppressive antibiotic therapy (SAT) after the debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) strategy for treating acute periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) in hip and knee patients.
- Researchers analyzed data from 510 patients, finding no significant link between SAT and treatment success, although some trends indicated potential benefits in the US cohort.
- Results highlight the uncertainty of routine SAT's effectiveness and call for more targeted research to identify which patients might actually benefit from this therapy.
Background: Positive intraoperative cultures (PICs) are encountered in some patients undergoing revision of the acetabular cup after a previous THA. It is unknown whether PIC of the cup indicates whether the stem is infected as well and what happens to the stem during follow-up.
Questions/purposes: (1) What proportion of patients undergoing THA who undergo cup revision have PICs? (2) What is the survival of the stem during follow-up in cup revisions with PICs versus that of those with negative cultures? (3) Does antibiotic treatment of PIC of the cup prevent revision THA during follow-up?
Methods: In this retrospective, comparative multicenter study, five surgeons at four centers performed 338 acetabular cup revisions between January 2015 and December 2017.
Introduction: A risk factor for the failure of surgical debridement in patients with early periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) is the presence of multidrug-resistant microorganisms. Staphylococcus epidermidis is one of the most isolated microorganisms in PJI and is associated with emerging resistance patterns. We aimed to assess the antibiotic resistance patterns of in early PJIs treated with surgical debridement and correlate them to clinical outcomes.

Therefore, we investigated the learning curve and survival rate of the DAA in primary THA, using data from the Dutch Arthroplasty Register (LROI).
Patients And Methods: We identified all patients who received a primary THA using the DAA in several high-volume centers in the Netherlands between 2007 and 2019 (n = 15,903).
Background: There is controversy in literature whether the direct anterior approach (DAA) results in less muscle damage compared with the posterolateral approach (PLA) for total hip arthroplasty. The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to assess muscle damage between these two approaches.
Methods: Forty-six patients were included.
