Abstract
BACKGROUND: Cementless 1-stage revision in chronic periprosthetic hip joint infections is limited evaluated. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a specific treatment protocol in this patient group.
METHODS: The study was performed as a multicenter, proof-of-concept, observational study with prospective data collection. Patients were treated with a cementless 1-stage revision according to the CORIHA protocol between 2009 and 2014. Fifty-six patients, McPherson type III-A/B-1/2, were enrolled with a mean follow-up time from the CORIHA procedure of 4 years (minimum of 2 years). The primary outcome was re-revision performed due to infection and was evaluated by competing risk analysis, with death and aseptic revision as competing events. All-cause mortality was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Oxford Hip Score (OHS) was used as disease-specific patient-reported outcome measure.
RESULTS: The cumulative incidence of re-revision due to infection was 8.9% (confidence interval [CI] 3.2%-18.1%). The 1-year and 5-year survival incidence was 96% (CI 86%-99%) and 89% (CI 75%-95%). OHS at baseline was 19.9 (CI 17.3-22.6) and at 24-month follow-up 35.1 (CI 31.7-38.5). The mean change in OHS from baseline to 24-month follow-up was 11.8 points (CI 7.3; 16.3). Three patients had aseptic revision performed: two suffered periprosthetic fractures and one had stem subsidence. Failure analysis of the 5 reinfections did not detect a clear pattern as to the cause of failure.
CONCLUSION: We found that cementless 1-stage revision in chronic periprosthetic hip joint infections has low reinfection rates in selected patients and may be applicable as a first-line treatment.
