We wonder what the results of two stage procedures were in terms of morbidity (amputation, dead) and infection recurrence. We also seek to identify risk factors for failure and see if the results of a second two stage surgery were not even worse. We retrospectively reviewed 140 prosthetic joint infection (PJI) treated with a two stage procedure. Patient data has been reviewed to determine which factors would be predictive for failure.Aim
Material and Methods
DAIR is an attractive treatment for PJI. The purpose of this study is to determine predictive factors of failure. We reviewed all DAIR procedures for hip PJI performed between 2002–2017 (n=69). Data recorded included all factors correlated with treatment failure. KLIC score and an adapted McPherson score (sum of three criteria where the lower score is three for 3 A and the higher is 9 for 3 C) were analyzed.Background
