Sonication: A Valuable Technique for Diagnosis and Treatment of Periprosthetic Joint Infections

The Scientific World Journal, 2013
Background. Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is the most severe complication, following joint arthroplasty. Identification of the causal microbial factor is of paramount importance for the successful treatment. Purpose.

Clinical Application of 3D‐Printed Custom Hemipelvic Prostheses With Re‐Entrant Chiral Structure in Reconstruction After Pelvic Tumor Resection

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
Novel 3D‐printed hemipelvic prostheses incorporating re‐entrant chiral structure achieved 75% porosity while maintaining structural integrity. Clinical outcomes demonstrated 86.7% disease‐free survival and significant functional improvement (MSTS‐93: 14.4→25.7) in pelvic malignancy reconstruction.

Management of Hip Arthroplasty for Intertrochanteric Fractures Under the Treatment Concept of Periprosthetic Fractures

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
Anatomical images of the front (A) and back (B); the black lines indicated the muscles. One cable in “figure‐of‐eight” and another looped over the lesser trochanter were across the muscles to maintain reduction and resist traction. ABSTRACT Objective Intertrochanteric fractures (IF) in the elderly are often complicated by osteoporosis and high rates of

Successful identification of pathogens by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based electron spray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ESI-TOF-MS) in culture-negative periprosthetic joint infection. [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection poses many challenges, one of which is the difficulty of isolating the infecting organism. Recently, a sophisticated modality (the Ibis Biosciences T5000 biosensor system) has been introduced ...

Periprosthetic joint infections in Orthopaedics

, 2023
Periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) represent a serious complication following primary arthroplasty, with an incidence varying between 1% and 2%. The reason behind the high morbidity rates is the formation of biofilms on arthroplasty implants that renders antibiotic treatment less effective.

Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
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.
