The Direct Anterior Approach Treating Periprosthetic Joint Infection Background: either one or two stage revision arthroplasties can be used for the treatment of chronic periprosthetic joint infection (pji) after total hip arthroplasty (tha). we report our results following two stage revision surgery performed through the direct anterior approach (daa) interval using a custom made articulating spacer. The direct anterior approach (daa) is an established approach for total hip arthroplasty (tha) but has been sparingly tried for revisions. the purpose of this study was to examine the available.

Infographic The Ebjis Definition Of Periprosthetic Joint Infection Thaler m, lechner r, dammerer d, et al. the direct anterior approach: treating periprosthetic joint infection of the hip using two stage revision arthroplasty. arch orthop trauma surg. 2020; 140:255–262. doi: 10.1007 s00402 019 03317 1. [google scholar]. Recent studies suggest an increased risk for periprosthetic joint infection (pji) utilizing the direct anterior (da) approach to the hip. the purpose of this study was to investigate whether such an increased risk does indeed exist on a large cohort of patients, operated by experienced surgeons and taking into account various confounders. Abstract. the nature of implant related infections is complex. currently, there is no definitive test for periprosthetic joint infection (pji) and diagnosis remains challenging despite recent developments. failure to diagnose and investigate pathologies of the hip appropriately results in delayed management and prolonged patient morbidity. Periprosthetic joint infection (pji) is a devastating complication following total hip replacement. the direct anterior approach for total hip replacement is becoming increasingly popular. however, little is known about the success rate of treatment with debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (dair) using the direct anterior approach.
