Septic Revision

Results showed the use of modular cemented stems for one-stage revision total hip arthroplasty in patients with periprosthetic infections and femoral bone loss was associated with excellent survival but high complication rates.

GRAPEVINE, Texas — Results presented here showed overall unadjusted rates of septic revisions after total knee arthroplasty declined from 2010 to 2019, with this trend remaining after adjusting for various confounders.

Results showed septic knee revisions, specifically explantations, were more expensive and had longer length of stay vs. aseptic revisions. Single-stage reimplantation had the best societal value for periprosthetic joint infection treatment.

Septic revision total hip arthroplasty was associated with lower risk of in-hospital mortality when performed at a high-volume revision center vs. a low-volume center, according to a study published in Orthopedics.
