Patients with obesity have a higher risk of periprosthetic joint infection and more frequent polymicrobial infections after knee arthroplasty: A nationwide register‐based study from Denmark

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To compare the 2‐year incidence of (1) revision due to periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) and (2) all‐cause revision after primary knee arthroplasty (KA) in patients with/without obesity and to compare the microbial profiles in early (≤ 90 days) and late (91–730 days) PJI.

Improved function and patient satisfaction with fewer residual symptoms following kinematically versus mechanically aligned total knee arthroplasty: A retrospective study from FP‐UCBM Knee Study Group

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To compare residual symptoms, function and patient satisfaction following unrestricted kinematic alignment (KA) versus mechanical alignment (MA) in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). It was hypothesized that KA would reduce residual symptoms and improve function and satisfaction.

Qualitative Alpha-defensin Versus The Main Available Tests For The Diagnosis Of Periprosthetic Joint Infection: Best Predictor Test?

, 2018
Introduction: Biomarkers such as α-defensin demonstrated to be a potentially useful option in periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) diagnosis. Recently, a new point-of-care test for α-defensin level detection in synovial fluid has been commercialized in ...

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Pericapsular nerve group block with phenol for non‐operative hip fracture management in patients living with frailty: a prospective multicentre cohort study

Anaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction The incidence of hip fractures is rising with the ageing population. For patients living with severe frailty and limited life expectancy, non‐operative management is increasingly considered after shared decision‐making. Given the limited availability of long‐term analgesic options, alternative techniques are needed.
