The PJI-TNM classification for periprosthetic joint infections [PDF]

Bone and Joint Research
Aims This study aimed to evaluate the clinical application of the PJI-TNM classification for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) by determining intraobserver and interobserver reliability. To facilitate its use in clinical practice, an educational app was subsequently developed and evaluated.

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.

Impact of Infection Timing on Outcomes: A Comparative Study of Periprosthetic Joint and Fracture-Related Infections. [PDF]

Orthop Surg
I commend the authors on their efforts in developing a strong manuscript centered around an important topic, the trajectory of health‐related quality of life following PJI. Their statistical analyses have been significantly improved, and their findings are both novel and clinically relevant. Their discussion is succinct, thorough, and readable.

Research Progress on Risk Factors for Acute Kidney Injury After Antibiotic-Loaded Bone Cement Spacer Treatment for Periprosthetic Joint Infection. [PDF]

Orthop Surg
During the two‐stage revision treatment of PJI patients, the use of ALCS may lead to the development of AKI, which could result in severe adverse outcomes. Despite the wide variation in the incidence of developing AKI reported in the literature, clinicians still need adequate attention, especially when confronting PJI patients who are elderly, obese ...

Cultures in periprosthetic joint infections, the imperfect gold standard?

EFORT Open Reviews, 2023
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

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
