The aim of this study was to assess the pattern of annexin V uptake in hip and knee prostheses suspected of being infected.
A total of 7 patients undergoing revision surgery for hip or knee prostheses were studied; 5 patients had total hip replacements, and 2 had total knee replacements. Infection was confirmed by pathology, culture results, laboratory evaluation, and clinical follow-up. All patients also underwent a bone scan before surgery.
Annexin V scan findings were positive in 5 patients and negative in 2. Annexin V uptake was either focal (n = 4) or linear (n = 1). There were 4 true-positive, 2 true-negative, 1 false-positive, and no false-negative annexin V studies. Annexin V uptake was either more extensive or less extensive than, and usually was incongruent with, (99m)Tc-methylene diphosphonate uptake.
Our findings suggest that annexin V imaging shows greater uptake with infection than with aseptic loosening and has a high negative predictive value for prosthetic infection.
本研究的目的是评估疑似感染的髋和膝关节假体中膜联蛋白V摄取的模式。
共研究了7例接受髋或膝关节假体翻修手术的患者;5例进行了全髋关节置换,2例进行了全膝关节置换。通过病理学、培养结果、实验室评估和临床随访确诊感染。所有患者在手术前还进行了骨扫描。
膜联蛋白V扫描结果5例为阳性,2例为阴性。膜联蛋白V摄取要么是局灶性的(n = 4),要么是线性的(n = 1)。有4例假阳性、2例假阴性、1例假阳性,且无假阴性的膜联蛋白V研究。膜联蛋白V摄取比锝-亚甲基二膦酸盐摄取更广泛或更不广泛,且通常不一致。
我们的研究结果表明,膜联蛋白V成像显示感染时的摄取比无菌性松动时更大,并且对假体感染具有较高的阴性预测价值。
