The World Association against Infection in Orthopaedics and Trauma (WAIOT) procedures for Microbiological Sampling and Processing for Periprosthetic Joint Infections (PJIs) and other Implant-Related Infections [PDF]
While implant-related infections continue to play a relevant role in failure of implantable biomaterials in orthopaedic and trauma there is a lack of standardised microbiological procedures to identify the pathogen(s). The microbiological diagnosis of implant-related infections is challenging due to the following factors: the presence of bacterial ...

Perioperative hyperglycemia and postoperative periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after total knee and hip arthroplasty [PDF]
Background: The quantitative relationship based on infection after total joint arthroplasty and perioperative blood glucose levels are not fully discussed. Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to find the relationship between peri-operative hyperglycemia and infection after total joint arthroplasty by suggesting a cut-off value over which were ...

Does Use of Lidocaine Affect Culture of Synovial Fluid Obtained to Diagnose Periprosthetic Joint Infection (PJI)? An In Vitro Study [PDF]
BACKGROUND Synovial fluid culture (SFC) is recommended as one of the major diagnostic criteria by the Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) for diagnosing periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Local anesthetic agents are used for anesthesia and analgesia in some clinical settings to relieve pain.

Abstract Purpose Metaphyseal cones improve fixation and address bone loss in revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA), but their use in septic revision remains controversial because of theoretical concerns about biofilm formation on porous surfaces, and evidence confined to the septic setting is scarce.

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

Mycobacterium abscessus Periprosthetic joint infection following bilateral Total Knee arthroplasty
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) can be protracted, incapacitating, needing multiple interventions and could even lead to mortality. Early post-operative PJI has been ascribed to peri-operative introduction of highly virulent bacteria, while delayed ...
