Periprosthetic tissue and/or synovial fluid PCR has been previously studied for prosthetic joint infection (PJI) diagnosis; however, few studies have assessed the utility of PCR on biofilms dislodged from the surface of explanted arthroplasties using vortexing and sonication (i.e., sonicate fluid PCR). We compared sonicate fluid 16S rRNA gene real-time PCR and sequencing to culture of synovial fluid, tissue, and sonicate fluid for the microbiologic diagnosis of PJI. PCR sequences generating mixed chromatograms were decatenated using RipSeq Mixed. We studied sonicate fluids from 135 and 231 subjects with PJI and aseptic failure, respectively. Synovial fluid, tissue, and sonicate fluid culture and sonicate fluid PCR had similar sensitivities (64.7, 70.4, 72.6, and 70.4%, respectively; P > 0.05) and specificities (96.9, 98.7, 98.3, and 97.8%, respectively; P > 0.05). Combining sonicate fluid culture and PCR, the sensitivity was higher (78.5%, P < 0.05) than those of individual tests, with similar specificity (97.0%). Thirteen subjects had positive sonicate fluid culture but negative PCR, and 11 had negative sonicate fluid culture but positive PCR (among which 7 had prior use of antimicrobials). Broad-range PCR and culture of sonicate fluid have equivalent performance for PJI diagnosis.  相似文献

Background: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) represents a serious complication following total knee arthroplasty. In the setting of chronic infections, the two-staged approach has traditionally been the preferred treatment method. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal period of rest between the first and second stage. Furthermore, we analyzed potentially outcome-relevant parameters, such as general and local conditions and the presence of difficult-to-treat or unidentified microorganisms, with regard to their impact on successful treatment of PJI.Patients and Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data for all patients treated for PJI at our institution. Seventy-seven patients who had undergone two-stage revision arthroplasty for PJI of the knee were included into the study. Antibiotic-loaded cement spacers were used for all patients.Results: After a median follow-up time of 24.5 months, infection had reoccurred in 14 (18.7%) patients. A prolonged spacer-retention period of more than 83 days was related to a significantly higher proportion of reinfections. Furthermore, significant compromising local conditions of the prosthetic tissue and surrounding skin, as well as repeated spacer-exchanges between first- and second-stage surgery, negatively influenced the outcome. Neither the patients'' age nor gender exerted a significant influence on the outcome regarding reinfection rates for patients'' age or gender.Conclusions: We observed the best outcome regarding infection control in patients who had undergone second-stage surgery within 12 weeks after first-stage surgery. Nearly 90% of these patients stayed free from infection until the final follow-up. An increased number of performed spacer-exchanges and a bad local extremity grade also had a negative impact on the outcome.  相似文献

Revision rates of total hip arthroplasty have decreased after introducing total hip arthroplasty (THA) using ceramic component, since ceramic components could reduce components wear and osteolysis. The fracture of a ceramic component is a rare but potentially serious event. Thus, ceramic on polyethylene articulation is gradually spotlighted to reduce ceramic component fracture. There are a few recent reports of ceramic head fracture with polyethylene liner. Herein, we describe a case of a ceramic head component fracture with polyethylene liner. The fractured ceramic head was 28 mm short neck with conventional polyethylene liner. We treated the patient by total revision arthroplasty using 4th generation ceramic on ceramic components.  相似文献

静脉血栓栓塞症(VTE)是全膝关节置换术后发生和死亡的主要原因。研究显示,术后发生静脉血栓栓塞症可延长住院时间。在过去15年中,尽管临床上采用了全面的静脉血栓栓塞预防方案,但全膝关节置换术后出现肺栓塞的发生率基本保持不变,约为0.4%。目前VTE预防方案包括早期下地行走、患者评估和药物治疗等。对于具有静脉血栓栓塞症风险的患者,阿司匹林应用越来越广泛。最新研究证实,阿司匹林具有相对较低的出血风险和低成本效益。也有研究认为,新型口服抗凝剂、华法林、低分子肝素,包括Xa因子和直接凝血酶抑制剂均对降低术后VTE有效,但可能与出血和伤口并发症发生率的增加有关。本文主要综述近年来VTE预防的研究进展,旨在为临床医生提供用药指导。  相似文献

This meta-analysis included 12 studies that evaluated sonication fluid cultures (SFC) for the diagnosis of prosthetic joint infection (PJI). The pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.80 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.74 to 0.84) and 0.95 (CI, 0.90 to 0.98), respectively. Subgroup analyses showed that a 14-day anaerobic culture may improve sensitivity, the use of centrifugation or vortexing may improve specificity, and the use of 400 to 500 ml of Ringer''s solution for containers may improve sensitivity and specificity. The best SFC cutoff was ≥5 CFU. In conclusion, SFC has high sensitivity and very high specificity for diagnosing PJI.  相似文献

BackgroundWe aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of complex salvage knee revision arthroplasty (rTKA) using endoprostheses with segmental bone loss.MethodsA consecutive study of patients who underwent salvage distal femoral replacement (DFR) or proximal tibial replacement (PTR) with a minimum 2- year follow-up (2005–2018). Patients who had acute DFR for periprosthetic fractures were excluded. Clinical outcomes, complications, reoperations, revision for any cause, loosening and mortality data were collected. Knee Society Score (KSS) at final follow up was used as a patient-reported-outcome-measure.ResultsThirty three consecutive patients were included; average age 79.6 years (range 58–89); 15 males/18 females. All had AORI-III massive bone defects and were reconstructed using DFRs; 6 patients had concurrent PTRs. The indication for salvage rTKA was infection in 16/33 (48.5%) and aseptic-loosening in the remaining 17 patients (51.5%). Complications rate was 12.1%; two patients had significant extensor lag; 1 patella dislocation and one recurrent infection. Median follow-up was 5 years (range 2–15) with median arc of flexion- extension of 100° (range 60–120). KSS was available for 29/33 patients with an average of 73.2 (range 51–86). Patients with infection as their indication had poorer KSS scores (66.1 vs. 81.6; P < 0.0001). Eleven patients have died at median 4 years postoperatively (range 2–7) for unrelated causes, none of the components have been revised to date with overall 80% patients’ survivorship at 5 years.ConclusionsThe use of endoprostheses in salvage knee arthroplasty led to satisfactory medium-term clinical outcomes with an acceptable complication rate for this challenging group of patients with poorer functional scores for infection compared to aseptic loosening.Level of evidenceLevel IV.  相似文献

Purpose

We devised an intraoperatively identifiable mechanical axis (IIMA) as a reference of alignment in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Materials and Methods

Between February 2010 and January 2011, primary TKAs were consecutively performed on 672 patients (1007 knees) using an IIMA as a reference in the coronal plane.

Results

The alignment of the lower extremity improved from a mean of 11.4±6.7° (-10.3-34.4°) of varus preop. to 0.7±3.5° (-5.2-8.6°) immediately after surgery. Mean alignment of the femoral component in the coronal plane was 89.3±2.3° (83.4-97.2°) postop. and mean alignment of the tibial component was 90.4±2.2° (85.1-94.2°) postop.

Conclusion

This study showed that IIMA could be of considerable value as a new guider of alignment that is easily accessible and highly effective during total knee arthroplasty.  相似文献

This study sought to demonstrate bone mineral density (BMD) conditions in elderly female patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). In addition, we sought to determine whether their BMD conditions differ from those of community-based females without knee OA. Finally we sought to determine whether clinical statuses are related to BMD in the knee OA patients. BMD conditions in 347 female patients undergoing TKA and 273 community-based females were evaluated. Additionally, comparative analyses of BMD between age and body mass index-matched knee OA groups (n=212) and the control groups (n=212) were performed. In the pre-matched knee OA group, regression analyses were performed to determine whether preoperative clinical statuses were related to BMD. Considerable prevalence of coexistent osteoporosis (31%) was found in the pre-matched knee OA patients undergoing TKA. We found no significant differences of the BMD T-scores and the prevalence of osteoporosis between the age and body mass index-matched knee OA and control groups. In the pre-matched knee OA patients, poorer preoperative clinical scores were related to poorer BMD T-scores in the proximal femur and/or lumbar spine. Our study suggests that more attention should be paid to identify and treat osteoporosis in elderly female patients with advanced knee OA undergoing TKA.

Noninvasive methods for the bacteriological diagnosis of early-stage Mycobacterium ulcerans infection are not available. It was recently shown that fine-needle aspiration (FNA) could be used for diagnosing M. ulcerans infection in ulcerative lesions. We report that FNA is an appropriate sampling method for diagnosing M. ulcerans infection in nonulcerative lesions.Mycobacterium ulcerans infection (Buruli ulcer) is one of the 13 most neglected tropical diseases (9) and the third most common mycobacterial infection after tuberculosis and leprosy in immunocompetent humans (2, 6, 13-14). In general, this skin disease initially manifests as a painless nodule or papule, plaque, or edema (2). Without early intervention, these symptoms evolve into painless ulcers with undermined edges. The epidemiological, scientific, and management aspects of this disease have been well described (12). Over recent years, the management of Buruli ulcer patients has considerably changed with advances in antibiotherapy (3, 5).Laboratory diagnosis of this mycobacterial infection is based on detection of acid-fast bacilli (AFB) through the direct examination of samples, isolation of mycobacteria by culture, histological analysis, and detection of M. ulcerans DNA by PCR (12). Ulcerative lesion specimens are collected using swabs (12). Swabbing from the undermined edges of ulcers may sometimes be difficult and painful. Collecting specimens from patients with nonulcerative lesions necessitates invasive procedures, such as incisional, excisional, or punch biopsies, which require hospital infrastructure not available in remote rural areas in Africa where M. ulcerans infection is endemic. Two studies recently reported that fine-needle aspirates could be used to diagnose M. ulcerans infection in ulcerative lesions. In both studies, the number of patients enrolled was not large enough to draw conclusions on the effectiveness of this technique in diagnosing nonulcerative forms.First, we compared the diagnostic sensitivities of fine-needle aspiration (FNA) and swabbing in 64 patients with ulcerative lesions. These patients had skin lesions consistent with active M. ulcerans infection, based on the clinical definition of the World Health Organization (12). For each patient with ulcerative lesions, two swab samples were taken from beneath the undermined edges of the ulcers and one FNA sample was taken from the edge of the lesion. The FNA procedure was similar to that described previously (4, 11); however, we used 20-gauge, 25-mm needles (attached to 5-ml syringes) instead of the 21-gauge and 23-gauge needles used in other studies. All samples were placed in sterile Venosafe tubes (Terumo) and sent, at room temperature, to the bacteriology unit of Angers University Hospital, France, within 7 days of collection for processing.Significant differences were observed in the efficacies of the two sampling methods. PCR using FNA samples detected M. ulcerans DNA in 56 of the 71 patients (diagnostic sensitivity of 79%), and PCR using swab samples detected M. ulcerans DNA in 68 of 71 patients (sensitivity of 95%) (Table (Table1).1). Chi-square tests showed that the number of positive smears (direct smear examination) was significantly different (P < 0.0001) between swab (50.7%) and FNA (9.9%) samples. The number of positive FNA PCR results was not significantly lower than those for swab samples (P < 0.46). However, there was a significant difference in the number of negative PCR results between fine-needle aspiration (21.1%) and swab (4%) samples (P < 0.007). Overall, these comparisons showed that PCR analysis of swab samples was more accurate than that of FNA samples for diagnosing ulcerative forms. For each swab collection and FNA, the patient''s response to pain was assessed according to standard pain assessment methods (15). Twenty adults (aged 15 to 35 years) and 20 children (aged 5 to 12 years) presenting ulcerative lesions (5 to 15 cm in diameter) localized on right or left limbs were enrolled. The analysis of results clearly demonstrated that FNA was less painful and thus more comfortable for the patient than swabbing (Fig. (Fig.11).Open in a separate windowFIG. 1.Pain assessment during swabbing and FNA.

Open in a separate windowaDSE, direct smear examination.Second, 64 patients were recruited to evaluate the diagnostic sensitivity of FNA from nonulcerative lesions. FNA was used to collect a unique sample from the estimated center of the lesion. We detected AFB in 25% of these samples (16/64 samples) through direct smear examination after Ziehl-Neelsen staining. PCR was positive for M. ulcerans DNA in 89% of the samples (57/64) (Table (Table1).1). Therefore, the sensitivity of PCR in FNA samples from nonulcerative forms was 89%. Seven cases were initially negative for M. ulcerans DNA detection. Repeating the sampling a few days later resulted in positive PCR results for four of these seven patients; the remaining three patients were diagnosed with lymphoma through differential diagnosis. Therefore, the sensitivity of the diagnosis from FNA samples was calculated to be 93.4% (57/61). The rate of positive smears from ulcerative and nonulcerative lesions in our study was lower than those obtained with other sampling methods (1, 8, 10). Thus, M. ulcerans DNA not associated with bacilli may be detected in aspirate liquid. M. ulcerans secretes vesicles containing mycolactone (7). Indeed, mass spectrometry analysis demonstrated the presence of mycolactone A/B in FNA liquid in samples collected from confirmed (PCR) Buruli ulcer patients. Moreover, we demonstrated that the vesicles contain M. ulcerans DNA (unpublished results). Therefore, we hypothesize that many vesicles and few bacilli (which are localized in tissues) are collected during FNA, explaining the high rate of positive PCR results compared to the low rate of positive smears.To conclude, FNA is a simple, fast, accurate, painless, and inexpensive method of sampling which may be used for diagnosing M. ulcerans infection by PCR, particularly in patients presenting early-stage nonulcerative lesions.  相似文献
