Periprosthetic Joint Infections

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Infectious Diseases, 2013
Implantation of joint prostheses is becoming increasingly common, especially for the hip and knee. Infection is considered to be the most devastating of prosthesis-related complications, leading to prolonged hospitalization, repeated surgical intervention, and even definitive loss of the implant. The main risk factors to periprosthetic joint infections

Knee arthroplasty failure is associated with significant systemic multimetal exposure

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This study investigated whether patients scheduled for revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are systemically exposed to arthroplasty metals, and whether systemic metal levels in these patients differ depending on the implants' levels of constraint.

Occult periprosthetic femoral fractures occur frequently during a long, trapezoidal, double-tapered cementless femoral stem fixation in primary THA.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence and clinical consequences of occult intra-operative periprosthetic femoral fractures in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Between 2012 and 2017, a total of 113 primary THAs were enrolled.

Imageless and image‐based robotic‐assisted total knee arthroplasty achieve equivalent radiographic accuracy: A randomised controlled trial

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Robotic‐assisted total knee arthroplasty systems offer both image‐based and imageless workflows, but their comparative accuracy remains unclear. The robotic surgical assistant (ROSA) system uniquely provides both approaches within a single platform.

Incomplete, stable-like, peri-prosthetic Vancouver B fracture around an ha-coated stem. Is there a case for strategic thoughtful neglect?

Trauma Case Reports, 2019
The Periprosthetic fracture of the proximal femur is usually treated by internal fixation of the fracture or revision of the femoral stem depending on the characteristics of the fracture and stability of the implant.

An Evaluation of The Host Response to An Interspinous Process Device Based on A Series of Spine Explants: Device for Intervertebral Assisted Motion (DIAM®) [PDF]

, 2019
Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate the host response to an interspinous process device [Device for Intervertebral Assisted Motion (DIAM®)] based on a series of nine spine explants with a mean post-operative explant time of 35 months.

Molecular diagnostics in periprosthetic joint infection. [PDF]

, 2011
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a significant and costly challenge to the orthopedic community. The lack of a gold standard for diagnosis remains the biggest obstacle in the detection and subsequent treatment of PJI.

Unrestricted kinematic alignment on the sagittal plane: Posterior tibial slope and combined flexion do not have boundaries to respect in terms of short‐term clinical outcomes and safety

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Personalized alignment in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is gaining traction as a surgical philosophy. True personalization, however, must encompass not only the coronal plane but also the sagittal and axial planes. This study evaluates influence of the Tibial Slope (PTS) and combined flexion (CF) on outcomes in TKA performed using ...

Periprosthetic Knee Infection: Ten Strategies That Work. [PDF]

, 2013
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is one of the most serious complications following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The demand for TKA is rapidly increasing, resulting in a subsequent increase in infections involving knee prosthesis.
