Identification of periprosthetic joint infection after total hip arthroplasty
Although total hip arthroplasty (THA) is accepted as one of the most successful surgical procedures in orthopaedic surgery, periprosthetic joint infection after THA continues to be one of the most devastating complications. However, accurate preoperative

Abstract Purpose To compare clinical outcomes in varus‐aligned patients undergoing cruciate‐retaining total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with mechanical alignment (MA) versus unrestricted kinematic alignment (KA). The hypothesis was that KA would yield superior outcomes, and that preserving joint line obliquity—regardless of alignment technique—would be ...

Actinomyces neuii: An emerging pathogen in total hip arthroplasty-related infections
Actinomyces is a gram-positive bacterium that is part of the normal human flora. However, Actinomyces spp. are not among the microorganisms commonly cultured from periprosthetic joint infections.

This meta‐analysis suggests that NGS of sonicate fluid demonstrates higher sensitivity compared to NGS of synovial fluid or periprosthetic tissue, while maintaining strong specificity, making it valuable for detecting infection. Periprosthetic tissue NGS demonstrated exceptional specificity and acceptable sensitivity, making it valuable for confirming ...

Periprosthetic infections after shoulder hemiarthroplasty [PDF]
To examine the rates and predictors of deep periprosthetic infections after shoulder hemiarthroplasty.We used prospectively collected institutional registry data on all primary shoulder hemiarthroplasty patients from 1976-2008. We estimated survival free of deep periprosthetic infections using Kaplan-Meier survival curves.

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.

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 Infection in Joint Replacement [PDF]
The volume of joint replacement surgery has risen steadily in recent years, because the population is aging and increasingly wishes to reserve a high functional status onward into old age. Infection is among the more common complications of joint replacement surgery, arising in 0.2% to 2% of patients, or as many as 9% in special situations such as the ...

Periprosthetic knee infection: treatment options
Infection is one of the most catastrophic complication following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and represents the second most common cause of TKA failure. Treatment of a patient with periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) could require often costly and prolonged hospital stays, weeks or months of antibiotic therapy, and multiple surgical procedures.

The Diagnosis of Periprosthetic Infection [PDF]
Periprosthetic infection (PJI) is the most serious joint replacement complication, occurring in 0.8-1.9% of knee arthroplasties and 0.3-1.7% of hip arthroplasties. A definition of PJI was proposed in the November 2011 issue of the journal Clinical Orthopedics and Related Research.
