  Abstract: Background: Persistent pain following total hip arthroplasty (THA) and bipolar hip hemiarthroplasty (BHHA) has been considered as a main source of patient dissatisfaction. The aim of this study is to determine the correlation between radiographic findings and painful total/partial hip arthroplasty.Materials and Method: One hundred sixty BHHA and one hundred forty-eight THA patients responded to a pain-diagram questionnaire and postoperative radiographic measurements of component positioning and bone morphology were performed …

  Negative Pressure Wound Therapy and Intermittent Irrigation with Systemic Antibiotic Suppression followed by One-stage Revision in Delayed Periprosthetic Hip Infection Cases: Reinfection Rate

  By Hyon-U Pak, Yong-Gwang Jo, Hui-Man Kim, Kwang-Hyok Pak, Sung-Gwon Won, Tong-Su Kim, Song-Gyu Ra

  Abstract: Background: Success rate of one-stage revision remains controversial in patients with delayed periprosthetic joint infection after primary cementless hip arthroplasty. We evaluated the reinfection-free efficacy of negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) and intermittent pulsatile irrigation (IPR) using chlorhexidine/povidone iodide combined with systemic antibiotic suppression (SAS) followed by one-stage exchange procedure with NPWT in those patients. Materials and Method: Reinfection rate was assessed in randomly selected forty-two cases (group A) with NPWT-IPR-SAS …
