Introduction: There are no widely accepted algorithms for determining optimal treatment for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Our study aimed to confirm the validity of a previously published scoring system in a larger number of patients to support a rational surgical treatment strategy for periprosthetic hip infection.
Materials And Methods: Between February 2001 and December 2020, we performed 155 consecutive revision total hip arthroplasties (THAs) for PJI, with mean follow-up of 6 years.
Aims: Although there are various pelvic osteotomies for acetabular dysplasia of the hip, shelf operations offer effective and minimally invasive osteotomy. Our study aimed to assess outcomes following modified Spitzy shelf acetabuloplasty.
Methods: Between November 2000 and December 2016, we retrospectively evaluated 144 consecutive hip procedures in 122 patients a minimum of five years after undergoing modified Spitzy shelf acetabuloplasty for acetabular dysplasia including osteoarthritis (OA).
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the timing of reimplantation in two-stage revision total hip arthroplasties (THA) for patients with periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), aiming to use serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels to inform surgical decisions.
- A total of 75 hips were analyzed, and the results showed a high 10-year prosthesis survival rate of 85% for two-stage revisions and 100% for multiple-stage revisions, but preoperative CRP levels did not correlate with recurrent infection.
- Elevated CRP levels, particularly a fourfold increase between the second and third weeks after the first surgery, indicate a higher risk of failure and suggest the need for additional treatment before proceeding with the
Double aortic aneurysm (DAA) falls under the category of multiple aortic aneurysms. Repair is generally done through staged surgery due to low invasiveness. In this approach, one aneurysm is cured per operation.
