New research is changing the way we approach Periprosthetic Joint Infection (PJI) in Megaprostheses (MP)! Our study of 50 MP-PJI cases over 12 years reveals critical data on treatment success and failure rates.
The stakes are high: overall infection-free survival was only 42%, with high rates of amputation (14%) and PJI-related death (14%).
Here's the essential takeaway for your practice:
🥇 Two-Stage Revision is the clear winner with 71% success. Multi-stage revision also performed well (57%).
📉 DAIR (Debridement, Antibiotics, and Implant Retention) success is limited to 39% overall and drops dramatically to just 15.4% for chronic PJI. It should be reserved for acute cases or when extensive surgery isn't feasible.
The evidence is clear: implant removal (two-stage revision) is the gold standard for durable success in megaprosthesis PJI.
