DIAGNOSIS OF PERIPROSTHETIC INFECTION

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery-American Volume, 2006
Periprosthetic infections are rare, but there is evidence to suggest that their frequency may be underestimated. No single laboratory test has perfect sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing infection. Most tests have better specificity when they are performed for patients in whom infection is suspected clinically rather than when they are used as ...

Periprosthetic Fractures Through Tracking Pin Sites Following Computer Navigated and Robotic Total and Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review.

JBJS Reviews, 2021
BACKGROUND Use of computer-assisted navigation (CAN) and robotic-assisted (RA) surgery in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) both necessitate the use of tracking pins rigidly fixed to the femur and tibia.

Periprosthetic Fractures of the Humerus

Journal of Long-Term Effects of Medical Implants, 2009
Classifications have been previously reported and biomechanical studies have been performed, but the management of humeral fractures between implants remains problematic. At the time of arthroplasty, planning of the optimum length of the prostheses is required, especially for patients being considered for a second arthroplasty in the ipsilateral elbow ...

PERIPROSTHETIC FRACTURES OF THE ACETABULUM [PDF]

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1999
Periprosthetic acetabular fractures during and after total hip replacement occur infrequently. Intraoperative fractures have risen with the use of press fit cementless fixation techniques and postoperative fractures are increasing because of the long-term problems associated with osteolysis.

Periprosthetic Patellar Fractures

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 2007
The patella is the largest sesamoid bone in the skeleton. Located within an expansion of the quadriceps tendon, the patella allows an increased functional lever arm of the quadriceps and enhances the mechanical advantage of the extensor mechanism of the knee.

Periprosthetic Fractures of the Femur

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 2002
Periprosthetic fractures of the femur represent a heterogeneous and challenging problem for the orthopedic surgeon. The incidence of these fractures is dramatically increasing, as there are more and more patients with aging total joint replacements.

Periprosthetic Fractures of the Femur

Orthopedics, 2009
Treatment of periprosthetic femur fracture is based on fracture timing, implant stability, fracture pattern, and bone quality. Intraoperative fractures are usually stable; to prevent intraoperative fracture, careful preoperative planning and gentle operative techniques are essential.

Periprosthetic acetabular fractures [PDF]

International Orthopaedics, 2015
The aim of this article is to propose a diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm for the acetabular periprosthetic fractures.This article explores the current literature on the epidemiology, causes and classification of periprosthetic acetabular fractures.

Periprosthetic Infections

Journal of Urology, 1987
A retrospective review of all patients undergoing implantation of a penile prosthesis or an artificial urinary sphincter was done. A total of 15 infections occurred in 556 prosthesis recipients, for an infection rate of 2.7 per cent. More than 50 per cent of the infections were caused by staphylococcal organisms.

Periprosthetic Patellar Fractures

Journal of Knee Surgery, 2013
Periprosthetic patellar fractures represent a spectrum of injuries to a patient with a total knee arthroplasty. They range in severity from an inconsequential injury, which does not compromise function, to a severely debilitating injury that may require advanced reconstructive measures.
