Event Description

On (b)(6) 2022, a total hip replacement was implanted at kssh by dr.(b)(6).In the course of the procedure, an infection developed, which is why a prosthesis-preserving revision was performed on and antibiotic treatment was started.In case of therapy failure the patient was transferred to the ksw for further treatment ((b)(6) 2022).It was found that a prosthesis stem for uncemented anchorage had been cemented in.Was cemented in.For 2 reasons this leads to a predictable failure: on the one hand because the stem is coated with hydroxyapatite, and secondly because the stem is made of titanium.The hydroxyapatite is a very hard substance, and can cause massive abrasion by friction under physiological massive abrasion of the cement due to friction under physiological loads.The hydroxyapatite dissolves over the course of the months, the cement anchorage would loosen accordingly and fail.Titanium shafts are known to fail when cemented in, except in very few models, because the abrasion on the surface leads to a continuous surface leads to continuous oxidation and corresponding swelling of the stem, until the cement mantle or the bone is cracked.It was therefore decided not to treat the periprosthetic infection again in a prosthesis-preserving manner, which would otherwise have been possible.However, the prosthesis change led to further complications, with in particular a multilevel fracture of the femur.This could be repaired with an appropriately long prosthesis stem.The risks concerning further complications and in particular failure of infection treatment correlate with the size of the implant.
