Background

Microbiology

Epidemiology

  • Complicates about 2% of arthroplasty
    • 2% of hip and knee arthroplasties
    • 1% of shoulder arthroplasties

Pathophysiology

  • Bacteria grown on the prosthesis in a biofilm, making it resistant to medical management

Clinical Manifestations

  • Most commonly occur within the 3 months after arthroplasty (early); 70% within the first two years

Management

Surgical Therapy

  • Ultimately the decision of whether and how to treat surgically rests with the orthopedic surgeon
  • Options include:
    • Debridement and retention
    • One-stage replacement
    • Two-stage replacement
  • Antibiotic-impregnated cement is often used for the spacer
    • Usually vancomycin 2 to 8 g per 40 g cement, or an aminoglycoside
      • No clear guidelines for dosing
    • No clear evidence of effectiveness, but recommended in all revisions for septic arthritis
    • Releases over a period of two to three days

Antimicrobial Therapy

Surgical Management Species Location Duration IV Total Duration Adjunctive Rifampin Chronic Suppressive Thearpy
debridement and retention Staphylococcus species knee 2-6 weeks 6 months yes; 4-6 weeks IV if not given ±
hip 3 months ±
elbow ±
shoulder ±
ankle ±
species other than staphylococci 4-6 weeks ±
resection ± reimplantation 4-6 weeks
1-stage exchange Staphylococcus species 2-6 weeks 3 months yes; 4-6 weeks IV if not given ±
species other than staphylococci 4-6 weeks 3 months ±
amputation with source control 24-48 hours
amputation without source control 4-6 weeks
  • IV therapy includes highly bioavailable oral therapy

Intravenous and Highly Bioavailable Oral Therapy

Choice of Antimicrobial

Species Preferred Antimicrobials Alternative Antimicrobials
Staphylococcus species (oxacillin-susceptible) nafcillin or cefazolin or ceftriaxone vancomycin or daptomycin or linezolid

Intra-Articular Infusion

  • Used in veterinary practice for decades, but only used experimentally in humans
  • Intraoperatively insert two Hickman catheters into the intraarticular space
    • Two catheters used to ensure that at least one will remain viable for the duration
  • Vancomycin
    • May precipitate local inflammatory response necessitating holding it for several days
