Dual vs. Single-Antibiotic Impregnated Cement in Hemiarthroplasty for Femoral Neck Fracture

Sponsor: Umeå University

Summary

Rational for conducting the study: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is the most feared complication following prosthetic replacement of the hip joint and is associated with increased mortality, morbidity and economic burden. The aim of the trial is to investigate whether the risk of periprosthetic joint infection after treatment with hemiarthroplasty performed due to femoral neck fracture is reduced after the use of dual-impregnated antibiotic loaded cement. The primary outcome variable is the incidence of periprosthetic joint infection within one year after the index procedure. Secondary outcome variables include the occurrence of re-operations for any reason, bacteriology, antibiotic treatment, mortality and health care costs.
