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).

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 of the hip.

The Bone & Joint Journal
Aims The number of revision arthroplasties being performed in the elderly is expected to rise, including revision for infection. The primary aim of this study was to measure the treatment success rate for octogenarians undergoing revision total hip ...

Effective single-stage revision using intra-articular antibiotic infusion after multiple failed surgery for periprosthetic joint infection : a mean seven years' follow-up.

The Bone & Joint Journal, 2022
AIMS Periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) with prior multiple failed surgery for reinfection represent a huge challenge for surgeons because of poor vascular supply and biofilm formation.

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 ...
