Aim

The number of periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) is increasing due to ageing population and increasing numbers of arthroplasty procedures and treatment is costly. Aim of the study was to analyze the direct healthcare costs of PJI in Europe for total hip arthroplasties (THA) and total knee arthroplasties (TKA).

Method

A systematic review in PubMed with search of direct costs of PJI in European countries was performed. Thereby the term cost* AND (infection OR PJI) AND (prosthesis OR knee OR hip OR “TKA” OR “THA” OR arthroplast*) was combined with each European country to detect relevant publications. Publications with definition of performed procedure and joint localization were included into further analysis. The mean value of direct healthcare cost was calculated for the respective joint and the respective operation performed.

Aim

The aim of this investigation was to compare risk of infection in both cemented and cementless hemiarthroplasty (HA) as well as total hip arthroplasty (THA) following femoral neck fracture.

Methods

Data collection was performed using the German Arthroplasty Registry (EPRD) In HA and THA following femoral neck fracture fixation method was divided into cemented and cementless protheses and paired according to age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and the Elixhauser score using Mahalanobis distance matching.
