Implants, What should I Use?
• Titanium better than stainless– (Melcher, Injury 27(S3). 1996)
• Solid better than cannulated– (Cordero, JBJS 78B. 1996)
• Smooth better than porous
– (Arens, JBJS 76B. 1994)

When Things Go Wrong
• Primary objectives:– Eliminate infection
– Promote osseous union
– Optimize function
– Keep in mind objectives of intended
original procedure (IOP)
• Treatment merges:– Antimicrobial therapy
– Surgical management: debridement, deadspace, soft tissue
– Osseous stabilization
![Page 12: Surgical Management of Osteomyelitis & Infected Hardware APMA 7-2017 - FINAL DRAFT .pdf · osteomyelitis prevention – Staph inoculated fixation, unstable fixation double the risk](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052008/601cbc8034df6d08a10ee10f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
5 Foundations of Treatment
1. Identify organism
2. Excise nonviable tissueOncologic resection
3. Stability
4. Control infection: culture-driven
5. Soft tissue & dead space management
![Page 13: Surgical Management of Osteomyelitis & Infected Hardware APMA 7-2017 - FINAL DRAFT .pdf · osteomyelitis prevention – Staph inoculated fixation, unstable fixation double the risk](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052008/601cbc8034df6d08a10ee10f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Identify Organism
• Debridement & Irrigate (9L)
• Procure cultures
– Histopath, micro: bone & tissue
– 2 samples from each site
• 2 weeks off abx is best
• HW culture or sonication if removed
– Have lab hold cultures for 2 weeks
• Sinus unreliable

My Set-up
![Page 15: Surgical Management of Osteomyelitis & Infected Hardware APMA 7-2017 - FINAL DRAFT .pdf · osteomyelitis prevention – Staph inoculated fixation, unstable fixation double the risk](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052008/601cbc8034df6d08a10ee10f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Debridement
• 3 scenarios:
1. Large defect & unstable implant
2. Healed bone, stable after implant removal
3. Bone is not healed, implant stable
• Assess intra-op stability of bone &
hardware

Importance of Stability
• Unstable fractures more likely to develop infection– Compared infection rates of unfixated vs fixated fxs (Merritt 1987)
• Stable fixation better than unstable fixation in osteomyelitis prevention
– Staph inoculated fixation, unstable fixation double the risk of infection of stable fixation (Worlock 1994)
• Fracture healing can proceed “normally” with rigid fixation– No difference in time to union b/w infected & uninfected fxs with rigid fixation
(Friedrich 1977)
• Why is 4-6 weeks is the “earliest” for implant removal – After soft callus formation→stability adequate to prevent shortening
(Sarmiento 1995)
![Page 18: Surgical Management of Osteomyelitis & Infected Hardware APMA 7-2017 - FINAL DRAFT .pdf · osteomyelitis prevention – Staph inoculated fixation, unstable fixation double the risk](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052008/601cbc8034df6d08a10ee10f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
When to Keep Hardware
• 68-86% success with HW retention
• Infection <3 wks
• No sinus or abscess
• Pathogen is sensitive
• Stability is key at this point
![Page 19: Surgical Management of Osteomyelitis & Infected Hardware APMA 7-2017 - FINAL DRAFT .pdf · osteomyelitis prevention – Staph inoculated fixation, unstable fixation double the risk](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052008/601cbc8034df6d08a10ee10f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
When to Cut Losses
• Difficult to treat organisms
• Unstable hardware/union site
• Large bone defect
• Implant >4wks
– stability
• Sinus tract
Difficult to Treat Organisms
Rifampin resistant staphylococcus
Small-colony variant staphyloccus
Enterococci
Quinolone-resistant Pseudomonas
aeruginosa
Candida
Multidrug resistant organisms

Dead Space
![Page 21: Surgical Management of Osteomyelitis & Infected Hardware APMA 7-2017 - FINAL DRAFT .pdf · osteomyelitis prevention – Staph inoculated fixation, unstable fixation double the risk](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052008/601cbc8034df6d08a10ee10f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Antibiotic Cement
Local antibiotic delivery
Concentrations >200x IV
Low systemic toxicity
Absorbable cement can be used as well
w/out need for removal

Getting it Closed
• VAC, STSG, HW removal, Primary closure
• Synthetic/Amnion grafts
• Plastics: Flaps
• Vascular: Amp
![Page 23: Surgical Management of Osteomyelitis & Infected Hardware APMA 7-2017 - FINAL DRAFT .pdf · osteomyelitis prevention – Staph inoculated fixation, unstable fixation double the risk](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052008/601cbc8034df6d08a10ee10f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Chronic Osteomyelitis
• Inadequately treated acute infection
• Late problem of open fracture
• Soft tissue spread
– Immunosuppressed
– Malnourished, DM, HIV
• Sinus tract
– Send for biopsy
• ?SCC
![Page 24: Surgical Management of Osteomyelitis & Infected Hardware APMA 7-2017 - FINAL DRAFT .pdf · osteomyelitis prevention – Staph inoculated fixation, unstable fixation double the risk](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052008/601cbc8034df6d08a10ee10f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Take-Home Principles
• Patients with early wound drainage
– I and D with intra-operative culture
– Keep implants
– Culture specific antibiotics
– Get it healed & closed
• Can get wound healing and fracture
healing in setting of infection

Who’s the Boss?
• IDSA: The ultimate decision regarding
surgical management should be made by
the surgeon with appropriate consultation
(eg, infectious diseases, plastic surgery)
as necessary
