Aim

Bone and joint infections (BJI) are associated with a heavy morbidity and high health costs. Comorbidities, device associated infections and complicated journeys are associated with increased mortality, treatment failures and costs. For this reason, 24 referral centers (RC) have been created in 2009 in order to advise about management of “complex” BJI in weekly multidisciplinary meetings (MM). Since end of 2012, data from these meetings are gathered in a national database. We aimed to describe the data from this French registry of BJI and determine factors associated with the definition of “complex” BJI.

Method

Demographic, clinical, microbiologic and therapeutic characteristics of patients are systematically recorded in the database. Data from the first presentation in RC for each adult patients are presented. Complexity of BJI is recorded after each meeting according to 4 criteria (first failure, complex antibiotic therapy, precarious underlying conditions or complex surgical procedure). Part of unavailable data have been completed by pattern extraction from text-encoded commentaries. Factors associated with complexity were determined by multivariate logistic regression.

Introduction

For preoperative planning of Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) it is paramount to choose the correct implant size to avoid subsidence with too small a component or fracture with too large a component. This planning can be done either in 2D or 3D. 2D templating from X-rays frontal images remains the gold standard technique in THA preoperative planning despite the lower accuracy with uncemented components. 3D planning techniques require a CT-Scan examination overexposing patients to radiation. Biplanar EOS® radiographs are an alternative to obtain bone 3D reconstructions with a very low dose of radiation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and reproducibility a novel 3D technique for THA preoperative planning based on biplanar low-dose radiographs.

Materials and methods

31 patients (20 women, 11 men, average age 66.1 y/o) who underwent a primary THA (Hardinge anterolateral approach) were included. Two senior orthopedic surgeons (Op_1 and Op_2) performed the pre-operative planning: (1) In 2D superimposing templates of the cup and the stem on CR radiographs. The CR images had a magnification coefficient of 1.15. (2) In 3D using dedicated hipEOS (EOS Imaging, France) software. 2D planning was performed once by each operator, 3D planning twice.

3D planning with hipEOS [Figure 1] was performed by importing 3D models of the stem and cup and superimposing them on frontal-lateral EOS® radiographs. This software proposes an initial estimate of the components size and position. If necessary, the user can correct the size of the stem and perform translations and rotations of the 3D models in order to correct the position, while clinical parameters such as the cup anteversion and inclination, as well as the femoral offset and leg length are automatically recalculated.

To evaluate the accuracy, we have compared the 2D and 3D planning with respect to the actual size implanted during the surgery. To evaluate reproducibility we have calculated the Intra-class Correlation Coefficient (ICC) of both techniques.
