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.
