Deep hip-prosthetic infections are rare (<1%) in Scandinavia, often caused by staphylococci or anaerobes. Diagnosis can be challenging, but two-stage revision surgery is the current treatment strategy.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Deep hip-prosthetic infections (DHPI) incidence is low (<1%) in Scandinavia due to preventive measures.
  • Hematogenous spread is the primary route for DHPI, with coagulase-negative staphylococci and anaerobes being common pathogens.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diagnostic challenges and current management strategies for deep hip-prosthetic infections.
  • To emphasize the importance of specialized centers for revision surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature and clinical practices regarding deep hip-prosthetic infections.
  • Discussion of diagnostic tools, including preoperative aspiration and granulocyte scanning.
  • Analysis of the current treatment paradigm, focusing on two-stage revision procedures.

Main Results:

  • Preoperative aspiration for diagnosis can be unreliable.
  • Granulocyte scanning provides valuable diagnostic information.
  • Two-stage revision surgery is the established strategy for managing deep hip-prosthetic infections.

Conclusions:

  • Effective management of deep hip-prosthetic infections requires accurate diagnosis and specialized surgical intervention.
  • Revision surgeries for deep hip-prosthetic infections should be performed at centers with expertise in implants and bacteriology.
