Risk factors predicting the reinfection in periprosthetic joint infection with sinus tracts following prosthesis removal and antibiotic bone cement spacer implantation: a case control study

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases
Background The sinus tract has been demonstrated to be a factor affecting the efficacy of periprosthetic joint infection. Reinfection after prosthesis removal and antibiotic bone cement spacer implantation is one of the reasons for the failure of two ...

MRI of Total Hip Arthroplasty: Successful Ripple Artifact Reduction Using Wavelet Domain Filtering

open access: yesJournal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Slice encoding for metal artifact correction (SEMAC) is used in MRI for total hip arthroplasties for metal artifact reduction. However, ripple artifacts often arise near the implant, impairing diagnosis in affected regions. Hypothesis Applying a wavelet domain filter (WD‐Filter) might reduce ripple artifacts and improve image ...

3D Printing a Clinically Available Solution From Plaster‐Based Positives in Superficial Radiation Therapy

open access: yesJournal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study compares two techniques for creating lead shielding masks to replace the current process for superficial/orthovoltage facial radiotherapy: Plaster Cast Positive Mould (PCPM), CT Scanned 3D Print (CT3DP), and Optical Scan 3D Print (OS3DP). CT3DP was found to be more accurate and preferred over OS3DP.

Synovial interleukin‐6 point‐of‐care testing, alone and combined with D‐dimer, supports rapid diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Data on the reliability of point‐of‐care (POC) tests for the rapid diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) using synovial fluid (SF) D‐dimer (DD), interleukin 6 (IL‐6) and procalcitonin (PCT) are limited. This study aimed to address this issue by evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of POC tests for SF DD, IL‐6 and PCT in ...

Targeting ligament boundaries rather than alignment boundaries in augmented‐reality‐assisted total knee arthroplasty ensures comparable gait patterns between operated and contralateral limbs

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Modern personalised total knee arthroplasty (TKA) techniques aim to mimic natural knee kinematics by focusing on soft‐tissue dynamics rather than static alignment. However, a consistent definition of the optimal ligamentous balance has not yet been established.

Single‐stage revision for chronic fistulized infected total knee arthroplasty achieves infection‐free survival comparable to non‐fistulized cases

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The presence of a sinus tract in chronic periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) has traditionally been considered a contraindication to single‐stage total knee arthroplasty (TKA) revision. However, an increasing number of surgeons are now performing single‐stage revisions in this context, despite limited comparative data.

A standardized surgical technique for DAIR improves treatment success rates in acute periprosthetic knee infection

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Results after debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR) for acute periprosthetic knee joint infections (PJIs) vary widely. Although data are limited, surgeon expertise and surgical technique likely influence outcomes. Standardized DAIR performed by surgeons within a multidisciplinary team (MDT) dedicated to the treatment of
