Body Mass Index Modifies the Effect of Hemovac Drainage on Blood Loss After Total Knee Arthroplasty

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
In tranexamic acid–treated primary total knee arthroplasty, estimated blood loss increased with rising BMI when no drain was used but remained stable across the BMI range with Hemovac drainage. These findings support a BMI‐based, selective use of drains rather than routine placement.

Time to Clinical Dryness and Wound Outcomes After Drainless DAA Total Hip Arthroplasty With Standardized Multilayer Symmetric PDS Plus Closure: Bikini Versus Longitudinal Incisions

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
Standardized drainless DAA‐THA closure using Symmetric PDS Plus is safe and efficient, with “time to clinical dryness” serving as a pragmatic indicator of early healing. Furthermore, bikini incisions significantly improve aesthetics without compromising safety, as wound complication risks are primarily driven by host comorbidities.

Factors associated with rifampin resistance in staphylococcal periprosthetic joint infections (PJI): a matched case–control study

open access: yes, 2013
PURPOSE: Rifampin combination therapy plays an important role in the management of staphylococcal periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). However, the emergence of rifampin resistance is a feared complication.

Second‐Knee C‐Reactive Protein After 1‐Week Staged Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
In 1‐week staged bilateral total knee arthroplasty, the second knee shows higher absolute postoperative C‐reactive protein, a difference that appears driven substantially by the unresolved inflammatory floor carried over from the first operation. This paired pattern supports cautious interpretation of modest second‐knee CRP elevations during early ...

Diagnostic Value of Next‐Generation Sequencing in Periprosthetic Joint Infection: A Systematic Review

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, 2022
Next‐generation sequencing (NGS) has developed rapidly in the last decade and is emerging as a promising diagnostic tool for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). However, its diagnostic value for PJI is still uncertain.

Aquacel Surgical Dressing Reduces the Rate of Acute PJI Following Total Joint Arthroplasty: A Case-Control Study. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
An effort to prevent PJI has led to the development of antimicrobial dressings that support wound healing. We sought to determine whether Aquacel Surgical dressing independently reduces the rate of acute PJI following TJA.

Relationship between vitamin D deficiency and early implant failure and osseointegration

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This systematic review investigated the relationship between pre‐operative vitamin D levels and implant osseointegration and implant‐related outcomes. It also assessed studies involving vitamin D supplementation before implant placement.

Risk of second revision and mortality following first-time revision due to prosthetic joint infection after primary total hip arthroplasty: results on 1,669 patients from the Danish Hip Arthroplasty Register

open access: yesActa Orthopaedica
Background and purpose: Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) following total hip arthroplasty (THA) has a severe impact on patients. We investigated the risk of second revision and mortality following first-time revision due to PJI. Methods: We identified 1,

Peri‐implantitis—Is it mainly a clinician‐initiated complication of implant therapy?

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim The high prevalence of peri‐implantitis is concerning, with a growing consensus that the majority of cases are complications initiated by clinician‐related errors rather than classic pathology. A primary predisposing factor for peri‐implantitis is exposure of the micro‐rough implant surfaces to the peri‐implant sulcus after treatment ...

Comprehensive analysis of culture-negative periprosthetic joint infection with metagenomic next-generation sequencing

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
ObjectiveThis study aimed to identify the risk factors and microbial profiles of patients with culture-negative periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) using metagenomic next generation sequencing (mNGS) and to compare the clinical characteristics and ...
