Prosthetic Hip Infections: Prospective Study (PHIPS)

February 13, 2018 updated by: Dr Valerie ZELLER, Groupe Hospitalier Diaconesses Croix Saint-Simon

Prospective Study of Patients Treated for Prosthetic Hip Infection and Followed for at Least 2 Years

Data from large prospective cohort studies of prosthetic joint infections are lacking.

Aim of this study: analyzing prospectively the incidence of reinfection in patients with prosthetic hip infections who underwent surgery and received antibiotic therapy.

Hypothesis: to confirm in a large group that the incidence of reinfection after excision -synovectomy in acute prosthesis hip infection is 30% and 15% for chronic infection after exchange arthroplasty (one or two stage exchange).

Detailed Description

Aim of the study: to analyze the incidence of reinfection in patients with prosthetic hip infection who underwent surgery and received antibiotic therapy Methods: prospective cohort study in a French referral center for osteoarticular infections from November 2002 to March 2010. Population

  • all patients who consented to participate in the study with prosthetic hip infections treated by:
  • debridement-synovectomy for acute infection or with one-stage or two-stage
  • exchange arthroplasty or resection arthroplasty for chronic infection
  • antibiotic therapy

Outcome:

  • Follow-up: minimum of 2 years
  • Events monitored: reinfection including relapse and new infection, joint revision for mechanical reasons, prosthetic hip infection related and non-related deaths
