Abstract Background To compare the outcomes of debridement and antibiotic-loaded spacer implantation in primary advanced septic arthritis (SA) of the hip in adults treated with two-stage total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods In the first stage, 9 patients were treated with debridement and 11 patients were treated with antibiotic-loaded spacer implantation. Then, THA was conducted in all patients in the second stage. Patients were evaluated based on the recurrence of infection, Harris hip score, visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score and leg-length discrepancy. Results No cases of infection, deep vein thrombosis, death, and loosening of hip prosthesis were observed during follow-up. The mean follow-up time was 29.09 ± 10.80 months in the debridement with THA group, and 28.22 ± 14.80 months in the spacer implantation with THA group. Before the THA surgery, the mean leg-length discrepancy was 2.80 ± 2.03 cm in the debridement with THA group, and 0.50 ± 0.23 cm in the spacer implantation with THA group (P < 0.05). In the latest follow-up, The Harris hip scores of patients was 90.33 ± 4.85 in the debridement with THA group and 94.36 ± 2.34 in the spacer implantation with THA group (P < 0.05), respectively. There was no statistical significant difference in VAS pain score of the hip between the two groups (P > 0.05).Conclusions Two-stage THA using antibiotic-loaded spacer implantation is an effective method for the treatment of advanced SA of the hip in adults due to it can control infection and significantly improve functional hip.

Abstract Background: To compare the outcomes of debridement and total hip arthroplasty (THA) with antibiotic-loaded spacer implantation and subsequent THA for the treatment of patients affected by primary advanced septic arthritis (SA) of the hip in adults. Methods: All of the 20 patients (20 hips) underwent two-stage surgery. Nine patients were submitted to surgical debridement first, and then THA (group 1), while 11 patients were treated with antibiotic-loaded spacer and subsequent THA (group 2). Patients were evaluated based on the recurrence of infection, Harris hip score, visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score and leg-length discrepancy. Results: No cases of infection, deep vein thrombosis, death, and loosening of hip prosthesis were observed during follow-up. The mean follow-up time was 29.09 ± 10.80 months in group 1, and 28.22 ± 14.80 months in group 2. Before the THA surgery, the mean leg-length discrepancy was 2.80 ± 2.03 cm in group 1, and 0.50 ± 0.23 cm in group 2 (P < 0.05). In the latest follow-up, The Harris hip scores of patients was 90.33 ± 4.85 in group 1 and 94.36 ± 2.34 in group 2 (P < 0.05), respectively. There was no statistical significant difference in VAS pain score of the hip between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions: Antibiotic-loaded spacer and subsequent THA is an effective method for the treatment of advanced SA of the hip in adults due to it can control infection and significantly improve functional hip.

AimsThe aim of this study was to describe, analyze, and compare the survival, functional outcome, and complications of minimally invasive (MI) and non-invasive (NI) lengthening total femoral prostheses.Patients and MethodsA total of 24 lengthening total femoral prostheses, 11 MI and 13 NI, were implanted between 1991 and 2016. The characteristics, complications, and functional results were recorded. There were ten female patients and ten male patients. Their mean age at the time of surgery was 11 years (2 to 41). The mean follow-up was 13.2 years (seven months to 29.25 years). A survival analysis was performed, and the failures were classified according to the Modified Henderson System.ResultsThe overall implant survival was 79% at five, ten, and 20 years for MI prostheses, and 84% at five years and 70% at ten years for NI prostheses. At the final follow-up, 13 prostheses did not require further surgery. The overall complication rate was 46%. The mean revision-free implant survival for MI and NI prostheses was 59 months and 49 months, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences in the overall implant survival, revision-free survival, or the distribution of complications between the two types of prosthesis. Infection rates were also comparable in the groups (9% vs 7%; p = 0.902). The rate of leg-length discrepancy was 54% in MI prostheses and 23% in NI prostheses. In those with a MI prosthesis, there was a smaller mean range of movement of the knee (0° to 62° vs 0° to 83°; p = 0.047), the flexion contracture took a longer mean time to resolve after lengthening (3.3 months vs 1.07 months; p < 0.001) and there was a lower mean Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score (24.7 vs 27; p = 0.295).ConclusionThe survival and complications of MI and NI lengthening total femoral prostheses are comparable. However, patients with NI prosthesis have more accurate correction of leg-length discrepancy, a better range of movement of the knee and an improved overall function.
