Periprosthetic joint infection
The Lancet, 2016Periprosthetic joint infections are a devastating complication after arthroplasty and are associated with substantial patient morbidity. More than 25% of revisions are attributed to these infections, which are expected to increase. The increased prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and other comorbidities are some of the reasons for this increase ...

Current Infectious Disease Reports, 1999
Total joint replacement has been one of the most remarkable successes of modern medical technology. Once John Charnley had solved the problems of implant design, choice of materials, implant fixation, and infection (initial rates of infection were approximately 10%), the way was clear for the widespread use of this valuable treatment, which is highly ...

Expert Review of Anti-infective Therapy, 2005
Infection is the second most common cause of prosthetic joint failure. Signs and symptoms associated with prosthetic joint infection may develop weeks or even years following arthroplasty. While some patients with prosthetic joint infection present with findings consistent with acute septic arthritis, many present with pain alone.

Diagnosis of Periprosthetic Joint Infection
The Journal of Arthroplasty, 2014Diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), one of the major causes of failure of total joint arthroplasty, continues to pose a challenge. One of the major reasons is the lack of a ''gold standard'' to distinguish between septic and aseptic failure.

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1978
A retrospective study of tuberculosis infection of joints over a 10 year period has identified 21 documented cases. The patients were, for the most part, of rural, middle-class background and usually in the fifth to seventh decade. Diagnosis was commonly missed with the exception of spinal lesions.

Infections of Bones and Joints
2009In order to produce disease, parasites must be able to invade host tissues, multiply and spread, and produce toxic substances. The ability to produce disease is known as pathogenicity, and the comparative pathogenicity of different organisms is expressed as virulence.

Prosthetic joint infections in the elderly
Infection, 2015Recent age-projection showed that the number of elderly is expected to rise significantly over the next decades worldwide. Accordingly, the prevalence of chronic and degenerative diseases will increase, among them osteoarthritis, resulting in more and older patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty and thereby also being at risk for associated ...

Of Bugs and Joints: The Relationship Between Infection and Joints
Reumatología Clínica (English Edition), 2013The association between microbes and joints has existed since antiquity, and remains complex. Diagnosis is often times difficult to determine despite highly suspicious clinical characteristics for the presence of an underlying infection. Over the several past decades, considerable advances have occurred in diagnostic methodologies and therapy. However,

Fungal infections of the bones and joints
Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2001Osteoarticular complications may occur with a variety of invasive fungal infections, and seem to be increasing with growing use of prosthetic joints and as the immunosuppressed patient population increases. Epidemiology, pathogenesis, presentation, and management strategies differ somewhat among the different fungal species.
