About this study

Official title: Comparison of Surgical Wound Healing and Complications Following Revision Hip and Knee Replacements, Utilising a 7-day Versus 14-day Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) Dressing. A Randomised Controlled Trial.

This is a single-site trial, and it has been designed to compare a revision hip cohort with a revision knee cohort. All consecutive eligible patients, under the care of participating Co-Investigator Orthopaedic Surgeons, are approached for recruitment into the study.

Eligible patients wishing to participate must require either revision hip or revision knee surgery and consent to be randomised to either NPWT PICO dressing for 7-day therapy (PICO 7) or NPWT PICO 14-day therapy (PICO 14).

82 Revision Hips and 82 Revision Knee participants, with 41* of each cohort randomised to either a 7-day or a 14-day NPWT dressing treatment duration period. The 7-day cohort will be treated with PICO7 dressings and pumps, and the 14-day cohort will be treated with PICO14 dressings.

*Randomisation will be stratified, so it will continue until there are at least 41 participants in each cohort.

Read the detailed description

Although the efficacy of these dressings is well established in promoting wound healing, the duration of application particularly in revision surgeries, where the surgery has been carried out though old scar tissues is however undetermined at present. The few published studies regarding this do show a benefit, however, they do not address the potential issues surrounding late wound breakdown and the duration of the NPWT on the wound 4,5.

Therefore a proposed randomised study to evaluate whether one-week of negative pressure wound therapy is sufficient or whether a two-week therapy duration is warranted.

This will be done by randomising a minimum of 82 patients who are scheduled for revision hip surgery and 82 patients who are scheduled for revision knee surgery into either a "control group" or a "study group".

The 'control group' cohort will receive a NPWT PICO 7 dressing and pump for a period of week, followed by a hydrocolloid dressing or other standard dressing applied thereafter. The 'study group' cohort will receive a NPWT PICO 14 dressing and pump for a period of 2 weeks, with a dressing change at one week. The pump will be paused during the dressing change, restarting it again once the new dressing has been applied and sealed for another week's NPWT.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The extent of wound exudate graded 1-4. This is measured by the extent of staining on the dressing at 1-week post-surgery (both study and control groups) and 2 weeks post-surgery (study group only).

    The extent of wound exudate graded 1-4 (measured by the extent of staining on the dressing) at 1 week and 2 weeks at follow up appointments.

    Grading of wound exudate levels and the amount of exudate on the coverage of the dressing:

    Grade 0 None No staining Grade 1 Light < 25% Grade 2 Moderate 25% to 50% Grade 3 Heavy 50% to 75% Grade 4 Overt > 75%

    Measured: Within the first 2 weeks post-surgery

  2. Late wound dehiscence or wound discharge (discharge from the wound once the PICO dressing has been discontinued).

    If there is any wound discharge after the PICO has been discontinued as per the protocol.

    The duration of wound discharge (any patients experiencing persistent discharge beyond 48 hrs will be brought back to clinic and dealt appropriately as per the Consultants preferred management methods).

    If there is any wound dehiscence or breakdown (patients will be brought back to clinic and again, dealt appropriately as per consultants preferred wound management method).

    The management of persistent wound discharge may require hospitalisation, wound washout or continued and/or prolonged use of a PICO dressing. These are all part of the standard of care at RJAH, but their use does vary slightly, depending on individual preferences of the supervising Surgeon.

    Measured: For the study duration, up to 6 weeks post-surgery.

  3. Observance of the formation of wound complications, specifically superficial wound infection, and deep wound infection.

    The number of wound complications, specifically concerning superficial wound infections and deep wound infections. The patient will be monitored at 1 week (clinic visit), 2 week (clinic visit), 3 week (phone call), and 6 weeks (clinic visit).

    Measured: For the study duration, up to 6 weeks post-surgery.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Wound appearance documented by photographs from before the dressing is applied in theatre to 6 weeks post-surgery follow up visit.

    The appearance of the wound at the 1-week clinic visit, where the dressing is changed or PICO therapy discontinued, depending on the treatment arm that the patient has been randomised to, the 2-week clinic visit, where the "study" cohort of patients will have their second dressing removed and at the 6-week clinic visit. The evidence of the wound appearance at these time points will be documented through photographs.

    Measured: For the study duration, up to 6 weeks post-surgery.
