Objective: To investigate the effect of two-stage revision for infected total hip arthroplasty (THA) using antibiotic-loaded cement prosthesis.
Methods: From June 1999 to October 2004, 14 patients who admitted for infected primary total hip arthroplasty surgeries were performed revision surgery with antibiotic-loaded cement prosthesis in two-stage. The mean Harris score of pre-operation was 23. In the first stage operation, the following steps were performed, complete debridement, removal of infected prosthesis, implantation of cement spacer with antibiotics, treatment involved concomitant administration of 3 weeks of intravenous (IV) and 1 month of oral. After 6 months, antibiotic-loaded prosthesis was implanted in the second stage.
Results: The mean follow-up was 18 months (7 - 26 months), no recurrent infection occurred in all 14 patients. The mean post-operation Harris score was 70.
Conclusions: The success of the protocol to control the delayed infection after THA are complete debridement, enough interval and using antibiotic-loaded cement prosthesis in two stage revision.

: to address the issue of burst drug release in antibiotic-loaded poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) bone cement (ALBC), this study involved preparation of novel PMMA bone cement and determination of its antibacterial activity, biocompatibility, compressive properties, maximum temperature, and setting time. : a novel acrylic monomer, which contains the 3,4-dichloro-5-hydroxyfuran-2(5)-one (DHF), was synthesized and utilized to develop non-leaching antibacterial PMMA bone cement (NLBC), designated as DHF-methacrylic acid (DHF-MAA) bone cement. In the preparation of this bone cement, DHF-MAA served as a key component of the liquid phase.

Background: Two-stage revision is known as the gold-standard method for knee prosthetic joint infection (PJI), but the most suitable treatment method remains controversial. Typically, weight-bearing is restricted during the interval between the stages. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of unrestricted weight bearing with cement spacers fabricated using the Knee Articulating Spacer Mold (KASM®; Ortho Development Corporation, Draper, UT, USA) for knee PJI.

: Vancomycin is commonly used in the treatment of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), and trough concentrations are measured to ascertain that they are within the therapeutic range. It has not been investigated what proportion of vancomycin concentrations during treatment of PJI patients is accurately within this range, how many dose adjustments are commonly needed, and which patient factors predispose towards aberrations from the desired range. : In this single-center cohort study, we investigated vancomycin trough concentrations in 108 patients with surgically treated PJI who received IV administered vancomycin treatment post-operatively.

Introduction: There is a worldwide trend toward 'revisiting' cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA). In Japan, however, cemented THAs accounts for 11%, and the percentage of cemented hemiarthroplasty is estimated to be less than 10%. This review was designed to reconsider the option of cemented THA and to encourage policy changes in Japan to support the best possible care for patients.
