Résumé

Chronic prosthetic joint infection patients who fail conventional two-stage revision surgery are an especially difficult to treat patient population. Consequently, the objective of this study was to investigate the safety and long-term effectiveness of adjuvant intra-articular vancomycin therapy in conjunction with two-stage revision knee arthroplasties for recalcitrant Staphylococcal prosthetic joint infections. This was an observational cohort study of twelve patients with recalcitrant Staphylococcal prosthetic joint infections of the knee which had failed previous revision surgeries. Each patient subsequently underwent two-stage revision with placement of Hickman catheters to deliver intra-articular vancomycin therapy. In addition, systemic antibiotic therapy was administered for 6 weeks, and long-term follow-up was evaluated then for 5 years. Seventy-five percent of the cohort have had no recurrence of their infections at 5 years. Two patients formed fistulas requiring above the knee amputations, and three patients had acute kidney injury. All patients had maximum measurable serum vancomycin trough levels that ranged from 6.1 to 93.6 mcg/mL. The aggressive protocol used in this cohort with repeat two-stage revision surgery, intra-articular vancomycin and systemic antibiotics was able to prevent recurrence of infection in most patients, but higher than expected rates of acute kidney injury were observed in this study. Therefore, while intra-articular vancomycin therapy may have some effectiveness in treating recalcitrant prosthetic joint infections, its ability to eradicate all bacterial niduses is unproven, and clinicians should be cognizant of potential adverse events that can occur with this therapy.
