Incisional Negative-Pressure Wound Therapy in Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty Due to Infection

Abstract: ObjectiveTo present our institution's experience with negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) as an adjuvant in wound healing of patients who have undergone revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) due to septic loosening in the presence of active fistula.MethodsWe prospectively assessed patients presenting with THA infection, associated with the presence of fistula, treated with a PICO® device for NPWT, in combination with the standard treatment for prosthesis infection in our institution. Resolution of the infec… Show more

“…Despite that, a higher incidence of wound problems or haematoma formation in our population was not confirmed. Wound healing problems are more frequent in RHA 21 . Our results stay in line with Ashraf et al, who showed that in RHA suction drainage did not protect against wound oozing and haematoma formation 22 .…”

“…Another study focused on the interest of CiNPWT after post-SSI revision of orthopedic implants [26] for total hip arthroplasty (THA) due to septic loosening in the presence of active fistula. They were treated with a PICO® device for NPWT, in combination with the standard treatment for prosthesis infection.…”
