Introduction

The management of patients with open leg fracture in Ivory Coast does not meet the standards of developed countries due to socio-economic conditions, accessibility and organization of care. However, is this care problematic? Is it associated with more post-traumatic infection or mechanical complications and are these correlated with the delay for treatment and the method of treatment?

Material and Methods

This is a single-center prospective study conducted on between January 2018 and May 2018 at Bouaké University Hospital. The observed parameters included factors related to patient, fracture and treatment conditions and were correlated with the rates of complications by multivariate analysis.

Aim

Apart from other biomarkers isolated in the synovial fluid, alpha-defensin appears to be a promising diagnostic tool to confirm a periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in the hip or knee. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of an alpha defensin lateral flow (ADLF) test compared to usual standard classifications in the diagnostic management of PJI.

Method

This investigation was set up as a multicenter prospective cohort study. Synovial fluid was obtained by means of joint aspiration or intra-operative tissue biopsies. A presumptive PJI diagnosis was made according to criteria outlined by the Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS), the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) and the European Bone and Joint Infection Society (EBJIS). The intention to treat by the surgeon was logged. Sensibility and specificity for the ADLF test was plotted for each aforementioned diagnostic algorithm. Spearman correlations between all scores were analyzed. Multiple logistic regression was used to determine the contribution of independent variables to the probability of PJI.

Background

DAIR is an attractive treatment for PJI. The purpose of this study is to determine predictive factors of failure.

Materials and Methods

We reviewed all DAIR procedures for hip PJI performed between 2002–2017 (n=69). Data recorded included all factors correlated with treatment failure. KLIC score and an adapted McPherson score (sum of three criteria where the lower score is three for 3 A and the higher is 9 for 3 C) were analyzed.
