Staged Reimplantation of a Total Hip Prosthesis After Co-infection with <Emphasis Type="Italic">Candida tropicalis</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Staphylococcus haemolyticus</Emphasis>: A Case Report

Fungal prosthetic joint infection is a rare complication in total joint arthroplasty. There are no established guidelines for management of these infections. We present a case of a 53-year-old male with a hip joint prosthesis co-infected with Candida tropicalis and Staphylococcus haemolyticus. A two-stage exchange arthroplasty was performed. The patient underwent implant removal, debridement, irrigation with saline solution and application of cement spacer impregnated with vancomycin followed by aggressive antimicrobial treatment in first stage. Complete eradication of infection was demonstrated by negative culture of sonicated cement spacer fluid and negative 16S rRNA and 18S rRNA gene PCR of sonicate fluid, synovial fluid and periprosthetic tissue samples. He underwent second-stage revision hip arthroplasty after 9 months of the first stage. At the latest follow-up, there was no evidence of recurrence of infection. This case illustrates the utility of sonication of biomaterials and molecular techniques for microbiological confirmation of absence of infection in staged surgeries which is required for a successful outcome.

Our experience with Wisebands: a new skin and soft-tissue stretch device

Complex wounds that involve skin and soft-tissue defects that are unsuitable for primary closure by conventional suturing are common in the field of surgery. Among the many surgical options available to overcome these problems are various mechanical devices that have recently been proposed for delayed primary closure of such wounds. The authors present their experience with a new complex wound closure device, Wisebands, a device uniquely designed for skin and soft-tissue stretching. During the last 2 years, the authors have treated 20 patients with 22 skin and soft-tissue wounds for which primary closure was not feasible. The Wisebands devices were applied to the wounds, stretching the skin and underlying soft tissue, gradually closing the defects until the edges were sufficiently approximated for primary closure. Successful wound closure was achieved in 18 patients (90 percent). The Wisebands devices were removed in two patients (10 percent) because of major wound complications. In two other patients (10 percent), minor wound complications had occurred that did not necessitate removal of the device. At a mean follow-up of 1 year (range, 10 months to 2 years), stable scarring with no functional or significant aesthetic deficit was achieved. The authors conclude that the Wisebands device facilitates closure of complex skin and soft-tissue wounds, with low morbidity and complication rates, and can provide the surgeon with another important tool for closing complex wounds. Nevertheless, appropriate patient selection, intraoperative judgment, and close postoperative care are essential to ensure closure and avoid undue complications.     

Treatment of chronic infected hip arthroplasty wounds by radical debridement and obliteration with pedicled and free muscle flaps

Nine patients with extensive wounds of the hip joint due to chronic infection following total hip arthroplasty or internal fixation of fractures of the femoral head and neck have been treated by serial radical debridements to remove infected bone, contaminated remnants of bone cement, and the surrounding fibrotic soft tissues. The resultant deep cavity extending down to the acetabulum has then been obliterated with either pedicled muscle flaps or free muscle flaps. Subcutaneous or transpelvic transposition of rectus abdominis muscle flaps is preferred for smaller defects, but only the free latissimus dorsi muscle flap provides sufficient volume of tissue to obliterate the more extensive hip defects. Systemic antibiotics have been continued only for a short-term course of 14 days postoperatively. There has been no recurrence of infection, with follow-up ranging between 6 months and 3 1/4 years. One patient has undergone reimplantation of a second custom hip prosthesis into the vascularized bed of a free latissimus dorsi muscle flap.

目的:探讨骨水泥型与生物型髋关节置换术治疗股骨颈骨折对术后患者关节疼痛的影响。方法:回顾性分析2012年2月-2013年8月我院收治的股骨颈骨折患者的临床病历资料,按照假体类型将其分为骨水泥型髋关节置换术(A组)和生物型髋关节置换术(B组),通过Harris与分项百分制髋关节疼痛评分比较两组患者术后髋关节的疼痛情况。结果:两组患者的手术时间、术中出血量以及术后引流量比较,差异无统计学意义(P0.05),A组的住院时间短于B组,差异有统计学意义(P0.05)。A组术后3、6个月的髋关节疼痛率均低于B组,术后12、24个月则高于B组,差异有统计学意义(P0.05);经x2趋势分析,A组患者术后髋关节疼痛率随时间增加呈逐渐上升趋势,差异有统计学意义(x2=10.837,P=0.001),B组患者术后髋关节疼痛率随时间增加呈逐渐下降趋势,差异有统计学意义(x2=9.842,P=0.002)。A组患者术后3、6个月的髋关节疼痛评分高于B组,术后12、24个月则低于B组,差异有统计学意义(P0.05);A组术后3、6个月的髋关节疼痛评分高于术后12、24个月,B组3、6个月的髋关节疼痛评分低于术后12、24个月,差异有统计学意义(P0.05)。结论:骨水泥型假体缓解髋关节疼痛近期效果优于生物型假体,而生物型假体远期效果优于骨水泥型假体。     

Use of an absorbable membrane to position biologically inductive materials in the periprosthetic space of cemented joints

A device is presented that positions ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) debris against periprosthetic bone surfaces. This can facilitate the study of aseptic loosening associated with cemented joint prostheses by speeding the appearance of this debris within the periprosthetic space. The device, composed of a 100 microm thick bioabsorbable membrane impregnated with 1.4 x 10(9) sub-micron particles of UHMWPE debris, is positioned on the endosteum of the bone prior to the insertion of the cemented orthopedic implant. An in vitro pullout study and an in vivo canine pilot study were performed to investigate its potential to accelerate "time to aseptic loosening" of cemented prosthetic joints. Pullout studies characterized the influence of the membrane on initial implant fixation. The tensile stresses (mean+/-std.dev.) required to withdraw a prosthesis cemented into canine femurs with and without the membrane were 1.15+/-0.3 and 1.54+/-0.01 MPa, respectively; these findings were not significantly different (p > 0.4). The in vivo pilot study, involving five dogs, was performed to evaluate the efficacy of the debris to accelerate loosening in a canine cemented hip arthroplasty. Aseptic loosening and lameness occurred within 12 months, quicker than the 30 months reported in a retrospective clinical review of canine hip arthroplasty.

A 42-year-old patient presenting with femoral head migration after hemiarthroplasty performed 22 years earlier: a case report

Introduction

Treatment of femoral neck fractures in young adults may require total hip arthroplasty or hip hemiarthroplasty using a bipolar cup. The latter can, however, result in migration of the femoral head and poor long-term results.

Case presentation

We report a case of femoral head migration after hemiarthroplasty performed for femoral neck fracture that had occurred 22 years earlier, when the patient (a Japanese man) was 20 years old. He experienced peri-prosthetic fracture of the femur, subsequent migration of the prosthesis, and a massive bone defect of the pelvic side acetabular roof. After bone union of the femoral shaft fracture, the patient was referred to our hospital for reconstruction of the acetabular roof. Intra-operatively, we placed two alloimplants of bone from around the transplanted femoral head into the weight-bearing region of the acetabular roof using an impaction bone graft method. We then implanted an acetabular roof reinforcement plate and a cemented polyethylene cup in the position of the original acetabular cup. Eighteen months post-operatively, X-rays showed union of the transplanted bone.

Conclusions

Treatment of femoral neck fractures in young adults is usually accomplished by osteosynthesis, but it may be complicated by femoral head avascular necrosis or by infection or osteomyelitis. In such cases, once an infection has subsided, either hip hemiarthroplasty using a bipolar cup or total hip arthroplasty may be required. However, if the acetabular side articular cartilage is damaged, a bipolar cup should not be used. Total hip arthroplasty should be performed to prevent migration of the implant.     

Polymer composites for use in orthopedic surgery

Ever since Movin in (1950) and McKee in (1951) introduced the use of acrylic cement for fixation of hip prosthesis components a number of investigators have proposed various hip prosthesis designs using this cement fixation concept (Neale, 1967). This study was undertaken to support the hypothesis that certain dental materials could provide a more satisfactory bone-prosthesis bond than that presently possible with acrylic bone cement.^‡ Two restorative resins were found to have superior strength and resistance to thermal degradation when compared to acrylic bone cement. Tests of acrylic cement combined with apatite fillers suggest that restorative resin-anorganic bone composites would exhibit improved strength and toxicity properties and would also promote improved bonding due to resorption of the surface anorganic bone particles with subsequent bone infiltration and anchorage. Relatively high degradation of acrylic bone cement in accelerated aging tests suggests caution in using this material for implantation.     

Development of articulation before delayed hard-palate closure in children with cleft palate: a cross-sectional study

The development of articulation before surgical closure of the hard palate was compared in 75 preschool children with cleft lip and palate and 40 preschool children born without clefts. The children were aged 2 years to 5 years 11 months. The patients had significantly poorer articulation skills than the controls at each age level. Substitutions were the most frequent error, and they did not decrease with age in the patients. Fistula size and a history of speech therapy were significant factors in the articulation error scores only in 5-year-olds. No advantage in articulation proficiency was found for those who had worn a prosthesis to occlude the hard-palate defect.     

Measuring improvement following total hip and knee arthroplasty using the SF-36 Health Survey

The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of total hip or knee arthroplasty upon quality of life in elderly patients. The study was carried out at the Clinic for Orthopaedic Surgery Lovran on 74 total hip arthroplasty and 70 total knee arthroplasty patients. All patients had completed the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short Form in the week having preceded their surgery and then again postoperatively, 2 years after. The data obtained were statistically processed at the level of physical function, role limitations due to physical problems, role limitations due to emotional problems, social function, mental health, energy or vitality, pain and general health perception, and change in health. The primary total hip arthroplasty patients showed significant improvement at all levels measured. Similarly, the primary total knee arthroplasty patients expressed significant improvement according to all the parameters but the mental health assessment. Comparison of outcomes between the two assessment groups of patients resulted in slightly superior quality of life outcomes in total hip arthroplasty patients. It can be concluded that total hip or knee arthroplasty significantly enhances the health related quality of life in elderly patients.

Salvage of jeopardized total-knee prosthesis: the role of the gastrocnemius muscle flap

Total-knee arthroplasty has provided many patients with excellent long-term functional results. However, exposure of a total-knee replacement usually eventuates in failure. The relatively superficial location of the prosthesis, the need for early active motion, previous surgical incisions, and a variety of systemic factors may militate against early wound healing. Restoration of well-vascularized soft-tissue cover can salvage an otherwise disastrous situation. The authors recommend early operative intervention upon observation of wound breakdown, devitalized skin edges, or significant subcutaneous infection leading to necrotic overlying skin. The operative procedure found to salvage the majority of prostheses consists of adequate debridement, antibiotic irrigation (of the joint, if exposed), and coverage with a well-vascularized muscle flap, preferably the medial gastrocnemius muscle. The operative technique and ultimate long-term outcome are reviewed based on experience with 10 consecutive patients presenting with a jeopardized knee prosthesis. Follow-up ranged from 1 to 6 years. Representative case histories are presented.     

Possibilities of avoiding an intra-femoral increase in pressure during hip revision surgery]

An earlier experimental study carried out by us revealed an increase in intrafemoral pressure during removal of cement in hip revision arthroplasty. This increase is greater while removing cement from the distal femoral shaft. Maximum pressure increases occurred while removing the medullary plug (cement stopper), and the measured pressure of more than 150 mmHg is associated with an increased risk of fat embolism. The present study shows that this phenomenon can be avoided through the use of cannulated instruments.     

Total hip arthroplasty.

Total hip arthroplasty, or surgical replacement of the hip joint with an artificial prosthesis, is a reconstructive procedure that has improved the management of those diseases of the hip joint that have responded poorly to conventional medical therapy. In this review we briefly summarize the evolution of total hip arthroplasty, the design and development of prosthetic hip components, and the current clinical indications for this procedure. The possible complications of total hip arthroplasty, its clinical performance over time, and future directions in hip replacement surgery are also discussed.
