Editorial: Management of PJI/SSI after joint arthroplasty

Arthroplasty
AbstractThe management of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) and surgical site infection (SSI) after joint arthroplasty poses a major challenge in orthopedic surgery. This Editorial provides an overview of the studies published in the special issue “Management of PJI/SSI after Joint Arthroplasty”, summarizing the key findings from these studies ...

Serum albumin-to-globulin ratio and CRP-to-albumin ratio did not outperform serum CRP in diagnosing periprosthetic joint infections

Bone & Joint Research
Aims: Serum inflammatory parameters are widely used to aid in diagnosing a periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Due to their limited performances in the literature, novel and more accurate biomarkers are needed.

Clinical characteristics and risk factors for culture-negative periprosthetic joint infections

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2021
Background Culture-negative periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) can complicate diagnosis and management of PJI. This study aimed to identify risk factors for culture-negative PJI and differences in clinical characteristics between culture-positive and

Explaining Osteomyelitis and Prosthetic Joint Infections (PJI) in terms of Biofilm – A Review

Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal, 2021
Osteomyelitis is a chronic infection of bones. Eradication of bone infection is usually with antibiotics and debridement, but it is slow and the infection can recur even after many years. It is now established that osteomyelitis is due to biofilm and a better understanding of the process is required. We review the development of biofilm and apply it to

Patient-related risk factors of prosthetic joint infections following total hip and knee arthroplasty at King Abdulaziz Medical City, a 10-year retrospective study

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2023
Background Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) can be associated with the development of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). It is necessary to determine the modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors of PJI to provide optimum healthcare to TJA candidates ...
