Treating infected hip prostheses requires a structured plan. Early infections may allow implant retention with debridement, while chronic cases necessitate implant removal and staged revision surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Infectious Disease Management

Context:

  • Hip prosthesis infections pose significant challenges in orthopedic care.
  • Effective management hinges on differentiating early from chronic infection stages.

Purpose:

  • To outline a structured treatment concept for infected hip prostheses.
  • To guide clinical decisions regarding implant retention, removal, and revision strategies.

Summary:

  • Early hip prosthesis infections (<30 days) may be managed with debridement and implant retention.
  • Chronic infections (>30 days) typically require complete implant and cement removal, often followed by a two-staged revision.
  • A one-staged revision is possible in select cases with favorable patient and bacterial factors.
  • A cement spacer can prevent soft tissue complications during the revision interval.

  • Intravenous antibiotics are crucial for 4-6 weeks, with limb salvage or ablation considered for severe cases.

    • Impact:

    • Provides a clear treatment algorithm for infected hip prostheses.
    • Aims to improve patient outcomes and reduce complications associated with prosthetic joint infections.
    • Highlights the importance of timely and appropriate surgical intervention and antibiotic therapy.
