Monoflange custom-made partial pelvis replacements offer a viable solution in extensive Paprosky III defects: functional outcome and risk factor analysis in 79 cases

Bone & Joint Open
Aims: Custom-made partial pelvis replacements (PPRs) are increasingly used in the reconstruction of large acetabular defects and have mainly been designed using a triflange approach, requiring extensive soft-tissue dissection.

The Definition of Prosthetic Joint Infections (PJI)

, 2012
It seems simple to define what a PJI is. The problem is that definitions vary depending on the author involved. It has become accepted that the PJI diagnosis is confirmed when there is purulence around the joint, there is a communication between the skin and the implant, and when causative agent(s) are isolated in multiple samples. In this chapter each

Increased short- and long-term mortality amongst patients with early periprosthetic knee joint infection

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2022
Background Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a severe complication in terms of disability, morbidity, and cost.

Role of Biomarkers in Periprosthetic Joint Infections

Diagnostics, 2022
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is one of the most serious complications after joint arthroplasty. The incidence rate of PJI after total joint replacement is 1–3%. Although there are different guidelines and diagnostic criteria used to diagnose PJI,

Performance of established test methods in diagnosing persistent infection at the second stage of a two-stage procedure for periprosthetic hip and knee infections

Bone & Joint Open
Aims: This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance of serum parameters, synovial fluid analysis, tissue and sonication fluid cultures, and histology to identify persistent infection, and to predict reinfection at reimplantation of two-stage ...

A 92 protein inflammation panel performed on sonicate fluid differentiates periprosthetic joint infection from non-infectious causes of arthroplasty failure

Scientific Reports, 2022
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a major complication of total joint arthroplasty, typically necessitating surgical intervention and prolonged antimicrobial therapy. Currently, there is no perfect assay for PJI diagnosis.

Diagnosis of Periprosthetic Joint Infection: The Utility of Biomarkers in 2023

Antibiotics, 2023
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a rare yet devastating complication following total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Early and accurate diagnosis of PJI is paramount in order to maximize the chances of successful treatment.

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 ...

Finite quantum environments as thermostats: an analysis based on the Hilbert space average method [PDF]

, 2006
We consider discrete quantum systems coupled to finite environments which may possibly consist of only one particle in contrast to the standard baths which usually consist of continua of oscillators, spins, etc. We find that such finite environments may,
