Abstract
In connection with the increase in arthroplasty of joints, the problem of infectious complications becomes topical. The aim of the study was to increase the effectiveness of purulent complications treatment after total knee arthroplasty. Material and methods. Treatment of patients with deep periprosthetic infection of the knee joint dealt with surgical debridement with the preservation of endoprosthesis, its removal and placement of a cement spacer or with the removal of endoprosthesis and arthrodesis of the knee joint. Surgical debridement was related to the radical excision of necrotic tissues and the remains of the synovial membrane. To prepare the cement spacer bone cement "CEMFIX" or "GENTAFIX" impregnated with antibiotic was used. For arthrodesis of the knee joint, Medbiotech core apparatus (the Republic of Belarus) superimposed on the limb in the frontal and sagittal planes was applied. Results. The use of a differentiated and individual approach to the treatment of deep periprosthetic infection of the knee joint enabled to obtain positive results in 85.6% of cases. Conclusions. The two-stage method of treatment of deep periprosthetic infection of the knee joint is preferred, as compared to a one-stage method, which enables to obtain better results.
