Study Summary

Wound complications and surgical site infections following revision total joint arthroplasty result in significant morbidity and cost. To the investigators knowledge, no prospective, randomized controlled trials have examined the rate of wound complications, infection, and reoperation following revision total hip arthroplasty when treated with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) versus sterile dressings. The investigators hypothesize that the rate of wound complications, infections, and subsequent procedures in patients undergoing revision THA treatment will demonstrate a statistically and clinically relevant decrease when using NPWT versus sterile dressing.

Primary Outcome

Wound complications within 90 days of a revision total hip arthroplasty include: wound dehiscence, prolonged drainage for \>7 days postoperatively, hematoma formation, surgical site infection, or periprosthetic joint infection that requires postoperative interventions (i.e. unplanned office visits, topical application of antibiotics or PO antibiotics, in-office wound debridement or removal of suture material, hematoma aspiration and drainage) or a return to the operating room/reoperation.

Interventions

  • DEVICE Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT)
  • DEVICE Sterile Antimicrobial Dressings
