Deep wound infection after a trochanteric fracture internal fixation presenting with hip dislocation: a case report

et al. 2010

We report a rare case of posterior hip dislocation after a low energy trauma. The patient sustained a trochanteric fracture in the same hip six months ago, which was fixed using a sliding hip screw and had healed. At surgery a deep wound infection was found and a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE) was cultured. After thorough debridement, an excisional arthroplasty was decided. The patient received specific intravenous antibiotics and after six weeks a total hip arthroplasty was done. In three years follow-up the patients presented with a fully functional hip without any signs of infection. Hip dislocation after a trochanteric fracture internal fixation is rare complication associated with high morbidity and mortality. Infection eradication and a second stage arthroplasty can be life and limb saving.

“…Reviewing these orthopaedic-related infection cases, only five cases 11,[19][20][21][22] had not found clear potential causative factors and 11 cases 7,8,[12][13][14][15][16]18,[23][24][25] had revealed clear potential risks of patients. In the present case, the patient did not report any underlying diseases, fishbone stuck, invasive treatment, licking of wounds, and trauma.…”

Background: Eikenella corrodens is a part of the inherent flora on the surface of human mucosa. It usually does not cause disease unless the patient has been bitten, injured or surgically infected. Lumbar spine infection caused by Eikenella corrodens usually presents with conventional symptoms such as low back pain and fever. Herein, we report a case of lumbar intervertebral space infection with Eikenella corrodens presented as abdominal pain. Case Presentation: A 38-year-old man with no medical history of note presented with abdominal pain. Initially, local doctors suspected that the patient had abdominal disease. However, abdominal diseases were ruled out and only lumbar spine infection was confirmed. Then, the patient was misdiagnosed as lumbar tuberculosis. Finally, anaerobic culture and metagenomic next-generation sequencing confirmed the Eikenella corrodens, which was rarely involved in lumbar intervertebral space infection. The patient recovered after operation and antibiotic therapy. Conclusion: This case indicated a rare symptom of lumbar spine infection, abdominal cramping, which is caused by Eikenella corrodens. Blood culture had low sensitivity as a diagnostic method for Eikenella corrodens, but lesion sample culture or metagenomic next-generation sequencing had high sensitivity for early diagnosis.

a b s t r a c tSpinal infections with Eikenella corrodens are rare. We report a unique case of infection caused by E. corrodens diagnosed more than two years after cervical surgery. All other published cases of spinal infections caused by E. corrodens were searched. Characteristics of this bacterium, its challenging diagnosis and therapy are discussed.© 2014 Elsevier Masson SAS.
