Aim

The optimal surgical approach for patients hospitalized for moderate to severe septic bursitis is not known, and there have been no randomized trials of a one-stage compared with a two-stage (i.e., bursectomy, followed by closure in a second procedure) approach. Thus, we performed a prospective, non-blinded, randomized study of adult patients hospitalized for an open bursectomy.

Method

Patients were randomized 1:1 to a one-stage vs. a two-stage surgical approach. All patients received postsurgical oral antibiotic therapy for 7 days. These are the final results of the prospective study registered at ClinicalTrials (NCT01406652).

Summary

Staphylococcus aureus isolates from Fracture fixation device related infections contained fewer isolates that form a strong biofilm in comparison with isolates from Prosthetic joint infections. Both orthopaedic implant related infection groups possessed fnbB and sdrE more frequently than the non-implant related infection groups.

Introduction

One of the most common pathogen causing musculoskeletal infections is Staphylococcus aureus. The aim was to characterise S. aureus isolated from these infections and to look for differences between the isolates from orthopaedic implant related infections (OIRI) and those in non-implant related infections (NIRI). The OIRI are further differentiated in those associated with fracture fixation (FFI) devices and those found in prosthetic joint infections (PJI).
