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 ...

An Enhanced Understanding of Culture-Negative Periprosthetic Joint Infection with Next-Generation Sequencing

Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. American volume, 2022
Background: The challenges of culture-negative periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) have led to the emergence of molecular methods of pathogen identification, including next-generation sequencing (NGS).

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.

Diagnosis of Periprosthetic Joint Infection

The Journal of Arthroplasty, 2014
Diagnosis 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.

Periprosthetic Infection: What Are the Diagnostic Challenges?

Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, 2006
Periprosthetic infection remains one of the most challenging complications of total joint arthroplasty. Despite the substantial reduction in the prevalence of this complication over the last two decades, periprosthetic infection is the second most common complication of joint arthroplasty, after loosening1,2.

Periprosthetic Joint Infection

2020
Total joint arthroplasty (TJA), the implantation of an artificial joint replacement, has become a relatively commonly practiced operation in many parts of the world. The most common reasons for performing a TJA are to restore mobility and alleviate symptoms of osteoarthritis, and reconstruction after fracture.

Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift fur alle Gebiete der operativen Medizen, 2011
Periprosthetic infections represent the most feared complications in orthopedic surgery. Frequently, the substantial challenges result more from a delayed diagnosis and an inadequate therapy than from the infection itself. The guiding symptom is pain.
