Outcome after reinfection following reimplantation hip arthroplasty

Abstract

Between 1976 and 1992, reinfection developed in 34 patients treated for an infected total hip arthroplasty with removal of the prosthesis and implantation of another prosthesis. These patients included 15 men and 19 women with a mean age of 62 years. Infection recurred an average of 2.2 years after reimplantation of the new prosthesis. Followup after the diagnosis of reinfection averaged 5.1 years. Reinfection after an attempt at reimplantation total hip arthroplasty was seldom compatible with a good functional outcome. Resection arthroplasty was reliable in eradicating reinfection but led to poor function and was associated with persistent pain. Although reimplantation of a third prosthesis allowed 3 patients to achieve an excellent result, the 8 hips that failed a third reimplantation attempt had the worst functional results in this study. The results from the present series suggest that reinfection after an attempt at reimplantation is a contraindication to further attempts at a 1-stage reimplantation of another prosthesis. Those patients in whom the same single microorganism has been identified from the failed primary total hip and from the failed first reimplantation, however, may be reasonable candidates for an attempt at...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
