Driesman A, Yang CC. Clinical outcomes of DAA and related techniques in hip arthroplasty. ARTHROPLASTY 2023; 5:42. [PMID: 37653546 PMCID: PMC10472647 DOI: 10.1186/s42836-023-00198-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2023] [Accepted: 06/14/2023] [Indexed: 09/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been one of the most successful surgical interventions in recent memory and is nicknamed by some the "Surgery of the Century". Over the past decade, there has been a drastic change in THA management with the rise of the direct anterior approach both globally and in the USA market. While many would remark that this has been driven by false marketing, it is clear that the direct anterior approach can be an effective and safe way to perform a THA.It is the goal of this review to highlight evidence of its outcomes and clinical advantages, in particular, how it can decrease dislocation, even in high-risk individuals, and result in faster recovery in the early postoperative period with decreased muscular inflammation. We will also highlight its major disadvantages, including but not limited to increased wound complications and risk for periprosthetic fracture. Hopefully, this review will provide up-to-date information on the current state of the direct anterior approach and provide recommendations on patients that would be optimal candidates for this technique.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There remains inconsistent data about the association of surgical approach and periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). We sought to evaluate the risk of reoperation for superficial infection and PJI after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) in a multivariate model. METHODS We reviewed 16,500 primary THAs, collecting data on surgical approach and all reoperations within 1 year for superficial infection (n = 36) or PJI (n = 70). Considering superficial infection and PJI separately, we used Kaplan-Meier survivorship to assess survival free from reoperation and a Cox Proportional Hazards multivariate models to assess risk factors for reoperation. RESULTS Between direct anterior approach (DAA) (N = 3,351) and PLA (N = 13,149) cohorts, rates of superficial infection (0.4 versus 0.2%) and PJI (0.3 versus 0.5%) were low and survivorship free from reoperation for superficial infection (99.6 versus 99.8%) and PJI (99.4 versus 99.7%) were excellent at both 1 and 2 years. The risk of developing superficial infection increased with high body mass index (BMI) (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.1 per unit increase, P = .003), DAA (HR = 2.7, P = .01), and smoking status (HR = 2.9, P = .03). The risk of developing PJI increased with the high BMI (HR = 1.04, P = .03), but not surgical approach (HR = 0.68, P = .3). CONCLUSION In this study of 16,500 primary THAs, DAA was independently associated with an elevated risk of superficial infection reoperation compared to the PLA, but there was no association between surgical approach and PJI. An elevated patient BMI was the strongest risk factor for superficial infection and PJI in our cohort. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III, retrospective cohort study.

[PMID: 36629904 PMCID: PMC10374686 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-022-04756-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2022] [Accepted: 12/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Increased risk of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in minimally invasive (MIS) total hip arthroplasty (THA) is still debated. This study aimed to identify differences in surgical and patient-related risk factors for PJI between an MIS anterolateral approach and transgluteal-modified Hardinge approach. METHODS A retrospective cohort of 5315 THAs performed between 2006 and 2019 at a single institution was screened. Short stem THAs performed via an MIS anterolateral approach in the supine position and standard straight stem THAs performed via a transgluteal modified Hardinge approach were included. Propensity score matching was performed to control for selection bias. After matching, 1405 (34.3%) short stem THAs implanted via MIS anterolateral approach and 2687 (65.7%) straight stem THAs implanted via a transgluteal modified Hardinge approach were included. The risk of PJI due to patient-specific and surgical factors was retrospectively analyzed using chi-square test and multivariate regression analysis. RESULTS PJI occurred in 1.1% in both MIS anterolateral and transgluteal approach (p = 0.823). Multivariate regression showed an increased infection risk for patients with a BMI between 35 and 39.99 kg/m2 (OR 6.696; CI 1.799-24.923; p = 0.005), which could not be demonstrated for transgluteal approach (OR 0.900; CI 0.900-4.144; p = 0.93). A BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2 (OR 14.150; CI 2.416-82.879; p = 0.003) was detected as a risk factor for PJI only in anterolateral approach. Increased operation time ≥ 121 min showed a significantly increased risk for PJI in the general cohort (OR 6.989; CI1.286-37.972; p = 0.024). CONCLUSION Minimally invasive anterolateral and transgluteal THA show a comparable rate of early PJI within the first year of index surgery. A BMI of ≥ 35 kg/m2 was detected as a clear risk factor for infection in the anterolateral approach. Prolonged operation time ≥ 121 min increases the risk of PJI regardless of approach.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Evidence demonstrates comparable clinical outcomes across the various surgical approaches to primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, high-quality contemporary data regarding periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) risk between direct anterior approach (DAA) and other (THA) approaches is lacking. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated PJI rates reported in the literature between the DAA and other approaches. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five online databases were queried for all studies published from January 1st, 2000 through February 17th, 2021 that reported PJI rates between DAA and other surgical approaches. Studies reporting on primary THAs for osteoarthritis (OA) and that included PJI rates segregated by surgical approach were included. Articles reporting on revision THA, alternative THA etiologies, or minimally invasive techniques were excluded. Mantel-Haenszel (M-H) models were utilized to evaluate the pooled effect of surgical approach on infection rates. Validated risk of bias and methodological quality assessment tools were applied to each study. Multiple sensitivity analyses were conducted to evaluate the robustness of analyses. RESULTS 28 articles reporting on 653,633 primary THAs were included. No differences were found between DAA cohorts and combined other approaches (OR: 0.95; 95% CI 0.74-1.21; p = 0.67) as well as segregated anterolateral approach cohorts (OR: 0.82, 95% CI 0.64-1.06; p = 0.13). However, DAA patients had a significantly reduced risk of infection compared to those undergoing posterior (OR: 0.66, 95% CI 0.58-0.74; p < 0.0001) and direct lateral (OR: 0.56, 95% CI 0.48-0.65; p < 0.00001) approaches. CONCLUSION The DAA to primary THA had comparable or lower PJI risk when compared to other contemporary approaches. The results of the most up-to-date evidence available serve to encourage adult reconstruction surgeons who have already adopted the DAA. Additionally, orthopaedic surgeons considering adoption or use of the direct anterior approach for other reasons should not be dissuaded over theoretical concern for a general increase in the risk of PJI.

Differential microbiological spectrum and resistance pattern in periprosthetic hip joint infections: a matched-cohort analysis comparing direct anterior versus lateral approach. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2022; 23:72. [PMID: 35045839 PMCID: PMC8772206 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-022-05037-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2021] [Accepted: 01/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, total hip arthroplasty via the direct anterior approach (DAA) has become more common. Little is known on the influence of the surgical approach on the microbiological spectrum and resistance pattern in periprosthetic hip joint infections. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the microbiological spectrum and resistance pattern in periprosthetic hip joint infections comparing the direct anterior versus lateral approach in a matched-cohort analysis at a single institution. METHODS Patients who underwent revision hip arthroplasty due to PJI following primary total hip arthroplasty with culture positive microbiology were analyzed. In all study patients, both the primary surgery and the revisions surgery were performed at the same institution. Only patients in whom primary surgery was performed via a direct anterior or lateral approach were included (n = 87). A matched cohort analysis was performed to compare the microbiological spectrum and resistance pattern in PJI following direct anterior (n = 36) versus lateral (n = 36) primary THA. RESULTS We identified both a significantly different microbiological spectrum and resistance pattern in PJI comparing direct anterior versus lateral approach THA. Cutibacterium avidum was obtained more frequently in the anterior subgroup (22.2% vs. 2.8%, p = 0.028). In the subgroup of infections with Staphylococcus aureus (n = 12), methicillin resistance was detected in 3/5 cases in the direct anterior group versus 0/7 cases in the lateral group (p = 0.045). Overall, Staphylococcus epidermidis was the most common causative microorganism in both groups (direct anterior: 36.1%; lateral: 27.8%, p = 0.448). CONCLUSION The present study indicates a potential influence of the localization of the skin incision in THA on the microbiological spectrum and resistance pattern in PJI. Cutibacterium avidum seemed to be a more common causative microorganism in PJI in patients who underwent direct anterior compared to lateral approach THA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While primary hip arthroplasty is the most common operative procedure in orthopedic surgery, a periprosthetic joint infection is its most severe complication. Early detection and prediction are crucial. In this study, we aimed to determine the value of postoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) and develop a formula to predict this rare, but devastating complication. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 708 patients with primary hip arthroplasty. CRP, white blood cell count (WBC), and several patient characteristics were assessed for 20 days following the operative procedure. RESULTS Eight patients suffered an early acute periprosthetic infection. The maximum CRP predicted an infection with a sensitivity and specificity of 75% and 56.9%, respectively, while a binary logistic regression reached values of 75% and 80%. A multinominal logistic regression, however, was able to predict an early infection with a sensitivity and specificity of 87.5% and 78.9%. With a one-phase decay, 71.6% of the postoperative CRP-variance could be predicted. CONCLUSION To predict early acute periprosthetic joint infection after primary hip arthroplasty, a multinominal logistic regression is the most promising approach. Including five parameters, an early infection can be predicted on day 5 after the operative procedure with 87.5% sensitivity, while it can be excluded with 78.9% specificity.
