Revision with gentamicin-impregnated cement for deep infections in total hip arthroplasties.

Seventy-seven total hip arthroplasties complicated by deep infection were treated by reoperation and fixation of a new prosthesis with gentamicin-containing cement. The infection was proved in each case by positive bacterial cultures. Systemic antibiotic treatment was continued for six months postoperatively. Sixty hips were considered healed; the patients had no pain and had normal sedimentation rates and roentgenograms. Nine still had pain or an abnormal sedimentation rate and were classified as doubtful with regard to eradication of the infection. Eight were still infected. The patients were followed for six months to three and one-half years after reoperation.

Prophylactic antibiotics against early and late deep infections after total hip replacements.

A review with a longer observation period is performed of a previously published double-blind investigation of the prophylatic value of cloxacillin against late infections after total hip replacements; In addition, a retrospective patient material is examined. The total material consisted of 1065 total hips. 15.4 per cent deep, late infections were found in the group without prophylaxis and 20 per cent in the one with prophylaxis. The frequency of haematogenous deep infection was estimated to be less than 1 per cent.

Growth and mitotic rate of the proximal tibial epiphyseal plate in hypophysectomized rats given estradiol and human growth hormone.

Hypophysectomized female immature albino rats were injected with HGH, HGH and estradiol, or estradiol solely. Some animals were left as controls. All animals were killed on day 3 or 5 of the experiment. One hour before sacrifice, the animals were flash labelled with tritiated thymidine. The following parameters were registered: labelling index, thickness of the growth plate, weight gain, and size of the uterus. The following conclusions were drawn. 1. Estradiol decreases the mitotic rate and retards growth of the epiphyseal cartilage. Its effect on the mitotic rate is more pronounced than its effect on the thickness of the tibial epiphyseal plate. 2. HGH increases the mitotic rate and promotes growth of the epiphyseal cartilage. Its effect on the thickness of the epiphyseal plate is more pronounced than its effect on the mitotic rate. 3. Estradiol decreases the mitotic rate even in the presence of HGH. 4. Estradiol seems to have a direct effect on mitosis of the chondrocytes.
