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