Cost Of Failure Following Reimplantation After a 2-Stage Exchange Strategy For Hip Or Knee Prosthetic Joint Infection

Cost of Failure Following Reimplantation After a 2-stage Exchange Strategy for Hip or Knee Prosthetic Joint Infection

This study concerns patients having had an infection on their prosthesis (hip, knee,..) and for whom a 2-step exchange of prosthesis has been done.

A 2-step exchange consists in explantation of the prosthesis and implementation of a spacer at the first stage, and reimplantation of a new prosthesis in a second stage. Patients with late prosthetic joint infection are at risk for superinfection at the time of reimplantation.

The aim of this study is to determine the global cost of management of prosthetic joint infection.

Inclusion Criteria:

• patients with prosthetic joint infection having had a 2-step exchange and managed at the CRIOAc from at least the reimplantation (between 2013 and 2015)

Exclusion Criteria:

-
