Cultures in periprosthetic joint infections, the imperfect gold standard?
Culture-negative periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) are commonly described in the literature. By implementing a routine diagnostic workup and by optimizing tissue sampling and processing, the culture-negative rate can easily be reduced. When faced

Two-stage revision hip arthroplasty in the treatment of periprosthetic joint infection
Introduction. One of the rare complications following hip arthroplasty is periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Two-stage revision arthroplasty is the gold standard in the treatment of deep periprosthetic infection of large joints, providing high ...

Topical Application of Vancomycin Powder to Prevent Infections after Massive Bone Resection and the implantation of Megaprostheses in Orthopaedic Oncology Surgery [PDF]
Introduction: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) represents a serious burden in orthopaedic oncology. Through the years, several local expedients have been proposed to minimise the risk of periprosthetic infection. In this study, we report our outcomes
