Brief summary

A prospective, multi-center, double-arm, parallel, interventional, randomized, controlled clinical trial to assess the rate of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA), total hip arthroplasty (THA) or hip resurfacing (HR) with XPERIENCE™ (XP) Advanced Surgical Irrigation versus dilute Betadine (DB).

Interventions

The patient will undergo THA, TKA, or HR with irrigation of the deep wound prior to fascial closure consisting of XPERIENCE Advanced Surgical Irrigation (XP). XP solution will be applied prior to fascial closure and left to soak for up to 3 minutes. Remaining product will be suctioned away throughout the procedure. No rinsing should take place after irrigation and surgical site will be closed according to site standard operating procedures.

DEVICEDilute Betadine

The patient will undergo THA, HR or TKA with irrigation of the deep wound prior to fascial closure consisting of Dilute Betadine (DB). DB concentration will be standardized at 0.3% povidone-iodine. DB will be prepared by combining 30 mL of sterile 10% povidone-iodine (from a sterile catheter pack) with 1 L of 0.9% saline in a sterile splash basin. Solution will be left to soak for up to 3 minutes and remaining povidone-iodine solution will be suctioned away. Area will then be rinsed with 1L of normal saline. Surgical site will be closed according to site standard operating procedures.

Presence of concurrent active infection, primary immunodeficiency, history of uncontrolled HIV (CD4 count \<200 cells/uL), treatment with immunomodulatory medications for malignancy or autoimmune disease (with exception to inflammatory arthritis), chronic glucocorticosteroid use (≥20 mg of prednisone daily for at least 1 month with another cause of immunosuppression), and solid organ and/or bone marrow transplantation. 10. History of septic arthritis to the affected joint within two years of surgery(1). 11. History of steroid injection to the affected joint within the three months preceding surgery. 12. Simultaneous bilateral total joint arthroplasty

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Rate of acute (<90 days post-surgery) PJI2 weeks after surgery, 3 months after surgery, within 90 day of surgeryNumber of patients diagnosed with periprosthetic joint infection as per the diagnostic criteria outlined by the 2018 International Consensus Meeting of the Musculoskeletal Infection Society for Acute PJI.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Rate of Superficial Wound Infections2 weeks after surgeryNumber of superficial wound infections
Rate of PJI at 1 year12 months after surgeryNumber of patients diagnosed with periprosthetic joint infections at 1 year after surgery
Subgroup analysis of PJI rates for high-risk patients3 months after surgery, 12 months after surgeryNumber of patients diagnosed with PJI at 3 months and 1 year in higher risk patient categories (morbid obesity (BMI \>40kg/m2), diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, inflammatory arthritis, active smokers (nicotine))
Patient Reported Functional Outcome ScoresBefore surgery, 3 months after surgery, 12 months after surgeryAs measured by the Oxford Hip Score (OHS) or Oxford Knee Score (OKS)
Patient Reported Quality of Life ScoresBefore surgery, 3 months after surgery, 12 months after surgeryAs measured by the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)
Wound Complications (non-infection) requiring revision surgery2 weeks after surgeryNumber of patients requiring a revision surgery for a non-infection related wound complication
