Girdlestone

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Infectious Disease Management

Background:

  • Hip prostheses can loosen due to septic or aseptic causes.
  • Prosthetic joint infections pose significant treatment challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of Girdlestone's operation for septic and aseptic hip prosthesis loosening.
  • To assess pain reduction, functional improvement, and infection control after the procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 33 patients undergoing Girdlestone's operation over 10 years.
  • Follow-up examination of 22 patients, with clinical evaluation using the Harris score.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvement in mean Harris scores from 25 to 53, primarily due to pain reduction.

  • Function remained poor, with continued reliance on walking aids.
  • Successful infection cessation in 92% of patients with septic prosthesis loosening.

    • Conclusions:

    • Girdlestone's operation effectively reduces pain and resolves infection in hip prosthesis loosening.
    • While functional outcomes remain limited, the procedure offers a viable solution for managing complex cases.
    • This surgical approach demonstrates high efficacy in eradicating infection in septic cases.
