Garlic extract in prosthesis-related infections: a literature review [PDF]
Journal of International Medical Research, 2020 With the increasing use of joint replacement surgery, the prevalence of periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) has also increased. However, treating PJI has become a challenge for orthopaedic surgeons because of the prevalence of multi-drug resistant (MDR)

Can nasal Staphylococcus aureus screening and decolonization prior to elective total joint arthroplasty reduce surgical site and prosthesis-related infections? A systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2020 Abstract Background Nasal Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) screening and decolonization has been widely used to reduce surgical site infections (SSIs) prior to total knee and hip arthroplasty (TKA and THA). However, it remains considerably controversial.

Reliability of circulating fibrinogen in the diagnosis of prosthesis-related infections: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2021 Abstract Background Fibrinogen (FIB) has recently been used as a biomarker to diagnose periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), but its reliability is still questionable. The aim of this study was to investigate the accuracy of FIB in the diagnosis of PJI after joint replacement. Methods

Potential Use of Poly- N -Acetyl-β-(1,6)-Glucosamine as an Antigen for Diagnosis of Staphylococcal Orthopedic-Prosthesis-Related Infections [PDF]
Clinical and Vaccine Immunology, 2007 ABSTRACT Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci are microorganisms most frequently isolated from orthopedic-implant-associated infections. Their capacity to maintain these infections is thought to be related to their ability to form adherent biofilms. Poly- N -acetyl-β-(1,6)-

PATHOGENESIS OF PROSTHESIS-RELATED INFECTION [PDF]
Biomedical Papers, 2003 In spite of its incidence decreasing to 1% nowadays, prosthesis-related infection remains a research, diagnostic, therapeutic and cost-related problem. It can be defined as a presence of bacteria in the artificial joint space, which is significantly associated with evident laboratory and/or tissue markers, and clinical signs of running infection.

Left knee prosthesis-related Mycobacterium goodii infection [PDF]
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2010 Non-tuberculous mycobacteria are increasingly being recognized as important human pathogens. We present the case of a 44-year-old non-diabetic male who underwent left total knee arthroplasty for degenerative arthritis after trauma. He developed left knee swelling and progressively worsening pain over the next 4 weeks.
