Biofilm Investigation on Bearing Components of Explanted Hip Joint Prosthesis

NCT02853461 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 200

Last updated 2016-08-04

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In this study the investigators sonicate the bearing components of the explanted hip prosthesis which allows highly sensitive detection of in vivo biofilms (qualitatively and quantitatively). The hip prosthesis bearing components are composed from different material. The purpose of this study is to analyse the resistance against biofilm adhesion of ceramic, metal and polyethylene prosthesis components through microbiologic analysis of sonicates.

Conditions

  • Sonication
  • Total Hip Replacement
  • Biofilm

Interventions

OTHER

Sonication

Ultrasound bath (40 kHz, 1 W/cm2, 1 min) of bearing components of the prosthesis in sterile conditions.

OTHER

Microbiological analysis

Plating the sonicates on agar plates.
