Comparison of Diagnostic Accuracy of Periprosthetic Tissue Culture in Blood Culture Bottles to That of Prosthesis Sonication Fluid Culture for Diagnosis of Prosthetic Joint Infection (PJI) by Use of Bayesian Latent Class Modeling and IDSA PJI Criteria for Classification.

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Microbiology, 2018
We have previously demonstrated that culturing periprosthetic tissue in blood culture bottles (BCBs) improves sensitivity compared to conventional agar and broth culture methods for diagnosis of prosthetic joint infection (PJI).

Renal Toxicity Associated With Resection and Spacer Insertion for Chronic Hip PJI

The Journal of Arthroplasty, 2021
Two-stage exchange arthroplasty with high-dose antibiotic-loaded bone cement spacer and intravenous (IV) antibiotics is the most common method of managing infected total hip arthroplasties. However, the contemporary incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of acute kidney injuries (AKIs) in this cohort are unknown.We identified 227 patients treated with ...

How I do it…. How infection doctors approach the PJI MDT

The Knee, 2020
The management of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) requires discussion between experts working towards the aims and expectations of the patient. Each discipline typically does not offer a single-minded approach, but instead collectively weighs up the strengths and weaknesses of different management options.

Algorithm to Diagnose Delayed and Late PJI: Role of Joint Aspiration

2016
Total Joint Arthroplasty (TJA) continues to gain acceptance as the standard of care for the treatment of severe degenerative joint disease, and is considered one of the most successful surgical interventions in the history of medicine. A devastating complication after TJA is infection.

Management of periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs)

2016
Management of Periprosthetic Joint Infections (PJIs): Management of PJIs discusses periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), a fairly rare occurrence that is nonetheless one of the most serious complications in joint replacement surgery. Intricate interactions between the pathogen, the host, and the implant can result in PJIs which are not only physically ...

A Clinical Microbiologist's Guide to Diagnosing Prosthetic Joint Infections (PJIs)

2022
Aim: In developed countries, prosthetic joint infections (PJI) emerged as the most complex orthopedic infections to diagnose and treat. Although sonication of explanted prostheses significantly improved microbiological diagnostics of PJI, using conventional cultures is still laborious and time-intensive.
