Abstract
Megaprostheses are one of the preferred choices of reconstruction after tumor resection. Periprosthetic joint infections are one of the most serious complications of joint prostheses surgeries. In this study, our aim was to analyze the efficacy of silver-coated megaprostheses in reducing the risk of prosthesis-related infection.
One hundred forty-two patients who had undergone implantation of a mega-endoprosthesis for non-neoplastic or post-neoplastic conditions were included in this retrospective study. The end-point of the survival analysis was the prosthesis failure due to infection.
Thirty-eight patients had undergone implantation of a silver-coated megaprosthesis and 104 patients a megaprosthesis without silver coating. The survival analysis showed an overall infection-free survival rate of 82.3% at five years and 61.9% at 10 years. Silver-coated prostheses had an HR of 0.72 (95% CI: 0.26-2.05; P=0.54).
Implantation of a silver-coated mega-prosthesis in non-oncological patients did not significantly reduce the risk of prosthesis-related infection.
