The purpose of this study is to report the overall infection control rate and prognostic factors associated with acute, hematogenous and chronic PJIs treated with DAIR. All DAIR procedures performed at 2 institutions from 2009 to 2018 (n=104) were reviewed and numerous data were recorded, including demographics, preoperative laboratory tests, Charleston Comorbidity Index, surgical information and organism culture results. Treatment success was defined according to the criteria reported by Diaz-Ledezma. A multivariable analysis was utilized to identify prognostic factors associated with treatment and a Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to depict infection control rate as a function of time.Aim
Methods
Core decompression (CD) is effective to relieve pain and delay the advent of total hip arthroplasty (THA) for osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). However, the influence of CD on the subsequent THA has not been determined yet. Literatures published up to and including November 2018 were searched in PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane library databases with predetermined terms. Comparative studies of the clinical outcomes between conversion to THA with prior CD (the Prior CD group) and primary THA (the Control group) for ONFH were included. Data was extracted systematically and a meta- analysis was performed.Background
