High rate of reinfection with new bacteria following one-stage exchange for enterococcal periprosthetic infection of the knee: A single-center study

Journal of Arthroplasty Sep 01, 2020

Rossmann M, Minde T, Citak M, et al. - This study was attempted to assess the outcomes after the 1-stage knee exchange for enterococcal PJI. Researchers retrospectively included 40 patients between 2002 and 2017 with a mean follow-up of survivors of 80 months (range 22-172; standard deviation [SD] = 5). They recorded patients’ characteristics, joint-related data, and antibiotic therapy. They performed a bivariate analysis to distinguish risk factors of infection recurrence. The results of this study indicated that overcoming the Enterococci using the 1-stage exchange for knee PJI is achievable but the rate of reinfection due to new microorganisms is high. Nevertheless, it was reported that the overall infection recurrence rate is comparable to other treatment approaches.
