Özet

Background: Septic and aseptic loosening are the most common indications for revision hip arthroplasty (RHA), and infection-related revisions pose significant diagnostic and management challenges. This study compared septic and aseptic RHA cases in terms of inflammatory markers, prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM), surgical time, blood transfusion requirements, soft-tissue thickness, and mortality rates in a cohort of 49 patients. Material/Methods: This retrospective study included 49 patients who underwent RHA between 2015 and 2020. Patients were divided into aseptic (n=34) and septic (n=15) groups. Demographic characteristics, comorbidities, preoperative erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, soft-tissue thickness, and revision surgery time were compared. Results: ESR and CRP levels were significantly higher in the septic group (P=0.002, P=0.001), soft-tissue thickness was lower (p=0.003), blood transfusion requirements (P<0.001) and surgical times (P<0.00001) were higher, while no significant difference was found in mortality rates between the groups (P=0.576). Conclusions: This study examined septic and aseptic loosening in revision hip arthroplasty, finding higher inflammatory markers, increased transfusion needs, longer operative times, and greater infection risk with diabetes in septic cases. In our study, soft-tissue thickness was found to be lower in infected cases, unlike reports in the literature. While previous studies suggested that soft-tissue thickness was the cause of infection, our study indicates that the decrease in soft-tissue thickness is a consequence of infection.
