Abnormal stress in the proximal tibia modifies the bone mineral density distribution pattern, and drilling in the sclerotic region during total knee arthroplasty is correlated with enhanced prosthesis stability. ABSTRACT Objective In patients with varus deformity of the knee, the redistribution of the subchondral bone mineral density (BMD) of the tibia

Periprosthetic Joint Infections
Summary Implants such as hip and knee prostheses have revolutionized healthcare by significantly improving quality of life for millions worldwide. However, along with these benefits come inherent risks, such as periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). These infections can occur in 1% to 2.5% of primary joint replacements and van rise as high as 16% in ...

Periprosthetic joint infections
Arthroplasty surgery, especially total hip arthroplasty (THA), is considered amongst the most successful surgical procedures of all time. However, complications may occur that are disabling for patients. Of all complications, periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is one of the worst, requiring additional surgery and prolonged periods of antibiotic ...

Periprosthetic joint infection: Current concept
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is one of the most devastating and costly complications following total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Diagnosis and management of PJI is challenging for surgeons. There is no "gold standard" for diagnosis of PJI, making distinction between septic and aseptic failures difficult.

RDW‐to‐platelet ratio (RPR) is strongly associated with 14‐day readmission following total hip arthroplasty. RPR could serve as a marker for patients at increased risk of early readmission. ABSTRACT Objective Early readmission following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is not uncommon and impacts patient outcomes and healthcare costs.

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]
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.

Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections
Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.
