Meta analysis
Rate of deep infection after revision
arthroplasty is half when antibiotics was used in cement
Question: Does antibiotic-im pregnated cem ent
reduce the incidence of PJI following elective total joint arthroplasty (TJA)?
Consensus: Yes. Antibiotic-impregnated
polymethylmethacrylate cement (ABX-PMMA) reduces the incidence of PJI following TJA and should be used in patients
at high risk (see definition) for PJI following elective
arthroplasty.
Delegate Vote: Agree: 90 %, Disagree: 9%, Abstain:
1%.

Antibiotic In Irrigation Solution
Washings (by bulb syringe or jet lavage) of
bacteria-coated stainless steel screws with:
1 L saline 1 L antibiotic solution (bacitracin vs.
neomycin vs. polymyxin/ neomycin)
1 L of saline containing liquid soap.
Power irrigation >100x more effective at
bacerial removal than bulb syringe of same volume, no matter which solution.
Antibiotics had no significant effect on
bacterial removal compared to saline alone
Liquid soap significantly removed bacteria
almost 10-fold, compared to polymyxin (best antibiotic solution in the study) (p=0.01)

Addition of vancomycin to wound
Povidone-iodine Irrigation
Review of:
15 studies:
11 RCTs, 4 prospective comparative studies
10 studies found povidone-iodine
irrigation to be significantly more effective at preventing SSI than saline, water, or no irrigation.

Question: Which is the ideal length of antibiotic
treatm ent following rem oval of the infected im plant?
Consensus: There is no conclusive evidence regarding
the ideal duration of antibiotic therapy. However, we recommend a period of antibiotic therapy between 4-6 weeks.

Question: Should a patient with TJA be given
dental antibiotic prophylaxis?
Consensus: The use of dental antibiotic prophylaxis in
patients with TJA should be individualized, based on patient risk factors and the complexity of the dental procedure to be performed.
