Abstract
BACKGROUND: Chronic deep periprosthetic infections (PPIs) of the hip joint are a major concern in modern orthopedic surgery. Numerous risk factors are being studied to reduce the recurrence rate; however, the role of functional fistulous tracts remains unclear.
AIM: To compare the physical status of patients, infection etiology, efficacy of chronic periprosthetic hip joint infection therapy, and treatment outcomes depending on the presence of a fistulous tract.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The retrospective analysis included 218 patients, with two study groups. Group 1 had 80 PPI patients without fistulas, while Group 2 had 138 PPI patients with fistulas. Treatment outcomes were assessed in 202 patients; the median duration of follow-up was 26 months.
RESULTS: Patients with fistulas were younger than those without fistulas: 58 and 63 years, respectively (p = 0.006). There were no significant intergroup differences in the total comorbidity score, duration of surgery, and blood loss. Patients with fistulas had a three-day shorter average hospital stay than those without fistulas (p=0.03). Monobacterial PPIs were the most common in both groups, with Staphylococcus epidermidis predominating in the group without fistulas and Staphylococcus aureus in the group with fistulas (p <0.001). These findings had no significant impact on the recurrence rate. The efficacy of the first debridement was 82% and 76% in the groups without fistulas and with fistulas, respectively; the efficacy of the second debridement was 69% and 58%, respectively (p >0.05). The presence of a fistulous tracts significantly increased the risk of PPI recurrence (p=0.048).
CONCLUSION: PPIs of the hip joint with fistulas have no significant impact on the first PPI relapse; however, fistulas may significantly increase the risk of the second relapse. This must be taken into account when planning relapsing PPI treatment stages.
