Use of Oritavancin (Novel New Lipoglycopeptide) in the Treatment of Prosthetic Joint Infections (PJI): A Possible Alternative Novel Approach to a Difficult Problem.
Prosthetic joint infections (PJI) result in significant morbidity, mortality and cost to patients and the health system. Traditional treatment involves a twostaged revision and occasionally a single staged revision along with intravenous antibiotics (IV) and or oral antibiotics for several weeks to months. The use of a single staged revision along with an antibiotic which has a prolonged half life and is bactericidal would be ideal. We present 2 patients who were treated successfully with a single stage revision/antibiotic spacer and a new novel long acting lipoglycopeptide called oritavancin.
