Periprosthetic joint infection

The Lancet, 2016
Periprosthetic joint infections are a devastating complication after arthroplasty and are associated with substantial patient morbidity. More than 25% of revisions are attributed to these infections, which are expected to increase. The increased prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and other comorbidities are some of the reasons for this increase ...

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.

Prevention of Periprosthetic Joint Infection

The Journal of Arthroplasty, 2015
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) has moved into the first place as the cause of failure following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Recent studies have shown that PJI results in higher mortality in patients than many cancers. The economic burden of treating PJI is likely to exceed $1 billion this year in the US.

Diagnosis of Periprosthetic Joint Infections

HIP International, 2012
Advances in implant design, surgical technique, peri-operative antimicrobial prophylaxis and laminar airflow operating room environment have made total joint arthroplasty one of the most successful surgical procedures of all times. Orthopaedic implants, however, remain prone to microbial contamination resulting in persistent risk of implant-associated

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.

Challenges in Periprosthetic Knee-Joint Infection

The International Journal of Artificial Organs, 2011
The number of knee arthroplasty procedures is growing and projected to further increase. The risk for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is estimated to be low (<1%). However, considering the increasing number of total knee arthroplasty, the increasing number of patients with multiple comorbidities, and the lifelong risk for acquiring ...

The Diagnosis of Periprosthetic Joint Infection

The Journal of Arthroplasty, 2015
Periprosthetic joint infection remains one of the most common failure modes following total hip and total knee arthroplasty. As such, a systematic and cost effective approach to the evaluation and work-up of a patient with a suspected periprosthetic joint infection should be undertaken in every patient with a painful total joint.
