One-stage Exchange Arthroplasty for Chronic Prosthetic Joint Infections

March 15, 2018 updated by: Hospices Civils de Lyon

The results found in the literature do not allow to define objectively the indications respective for a one-step or a two-step exchange of prosthetic joint. Some criteria could help to decide for one-step exchange or two-step exchange: bacteria is/are identified, profile of the bacteria, anesthetic difficulties,..

A puncture could allow to identify the bacteria involved in the prosthetic joint infection (PJI) and an antibiotherapy for a few days can be given to the patient in order to decrease the inoculum. Then, a one-step exchange can be performed.

The purpose of this study is to describe the management of patients who had a pre-treatment before a one-step exchange of their prosthetic joint.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
bacterial epidemiology
Time Frame: at the end of follow-up (usually between 12 and 24 months after antibiotic therapy disruption)
This outcome will describe the bacterial epidemiology identified with a punction, the antibiotherapy used for pre-treatment, the characteristics of patients and the PJI.
at the end of follow-up (usually between 12 and 24 months after antibiotic therapy disruption)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Treatment failure
Time Frame: at the end of follow-up (usually between 12 and 24 months after antibiotic therapy disruption)
Treatment failure is defined by local clinical and/or microbiological relapse; and/or need for additional surgery; death of septic origin
at the end of follow-up (usually between 12 and 24 months after antibiotic therapy disruption)
