Summary

Patients with hip, knee and shoulder PJI, will be treated with a two-stage exchange Revision.

Patients will be randomized into 2 groups: the experimental Group will get a reimplantation after a short interval (2-3 weeks) while the control Group after a long standard interval.

Primary objective of the study is "Infection outcome". The infection-free status is defined as absence of clinical (e.g. no fistula), laboratory (e.g. normal C-reactive protein) and radiological signs of infection (e.g. no septic loosening).

Secondary objective is "Functional outcome".The functional assessment will be performed using joint-specific scores (HARRIS HIP SCORE, CONSTANT SHOULDER SCORE, KNEE SOCIETY SCORE, OXFORD HIP SCORE, OXFORD KNEE SCORE, QUICK DASH SCORE) involving the range of motion (ROM), patient mobility / independency in daily life, subjective evaluation of pain using a visual analog pain scale (1-10 points) and life-quality evaluation (EQ5D5L score).

Conditions

  • Hip Prosthetic Joint Infection
  • Knee Prosthetic Joint Infection
  • Shoulder Prosthetic Joint Infection

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Shortening of the interval of two-stage prosthesis exchange

The Intervention consist in shortening of the interval between Explantation and re-implantation in patients undergoing a two-stage prosthesis Exchange. Comparison between arms is performed between short and long interval before re-implantation.
