Surgical site infections after hip and knee replacements occur at a rate of 0.5-1.4%. Treatment varies based on infection timing, from debridement to prosthesis exchange or removal and reimplantation.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Infectious disease

Context:

  • Over 170,000 total hip arthroplasties and 70,000 total knee arthroplasties are performed annually in Germany.
  • Reported infection rates range from 0.5% to 1.4% following these procedures.

Purpose:

  • To outline the different surgical interventions required for early and late infections after hip and knee arthroplasty.
  • To highlight the importance of monitoring C-reactive protein levels and wound condition for early infection detection.

Summary:

  • Surgical treatment for arthroplasty infections necessitates varied approaches, including debridement, all-in-one exchange, or explantation with spacer insertion and subsequent reimplantation.
  • The timing of infection dictates the appropriate surgical strategy.

Impact:
