Impact and Modification of the New PJI-TNM Classification for Periprosthetic Joint Infections

Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2023
The comprehensive “PJI-TNM classification” for the description of periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) was introduced in 2020. Its structure is based on the well-known oncological TNM classification to appreciate the complexity, severity, and diversity of PJIs.

Nanotechnology as an Anti-Infection Strategy in Periprosthetic Joint Infections (PJI) [PDF]

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2021
Background: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) represents a devastating consequence of total joint arthroplasty (TJA) because of its high morbidity and its high impact on patient quality of life. The lack of standardized preventive and treatment strategies is a major challenge for arthroplasty surgeons.

The Ongoing Struggle to Find a Gold Standard for PJI Diagnosis

Reports
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication of joint arthroplasty surgery that is difficult to both diagnose and treat. Misdiagnosing a prosthetic infection has terrible consequences for both the patient and healthcare system. No currently used diagnostic test fulfills the requirements to be considered a gold standard.

1300. Comparison of the Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes of Anaerobic Prosthetic Joint Infections (PJI) and Aerobic PJIs : A Retrospective Review

Open Forum Infectious Diseases, 2023
Abstract Background PJI is an uncommon but serious complication of joint arthroplasties that can result in significant morbidity and cost. There is a paucity of studies in the literature on PJIs caused by anaerobic organisms either as the sole pathogen or part of a polymicrobial infection. The purpose

Development of an innovative in vivo model of PJI treated with DAIR

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
IntroductionProsthetic Joint Infection (PJI) are catastrophic complications of joint replacement. Debridement, implant retention, and antibiotic therapy (DAIR) is the usual strategy in acute infections but fails in 45% of MRSA infections. We describe the development of a model of infected arthroplasty in rabbits, treated with debridement and a course ...

Treatment options in PJI – is two-stage still gold standard?

Journal of Orthopaedics, 2021
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a successful treatment for osteoarthritis with good clinical outcomes 1,2. Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in TKA has a low incidence between 0.5 and 3% but it is nevertheless one of the most dreadful complications 3-6.

A Modified Technique for Two-Stage Revision in Knee PJI Treatment

Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2023
Knee PJIs represent one of the most important complications after joint replacement surgery. If the prerequisites for implant retention do not subsist, the surgical treatment of these conditions is performed using one-stage and two-stage revision techniques.
