Backgrounds of antibiotic-loaded bone cement and prosthesis-related infection

Biomaterials, 2004
Antibiotic-loaded bone cement has been in use for over 30 years for the fixation of total joint arthroplasties, although its mechanism of action is still poorly understood. This review presents the backgrounds of bone cements, prosthesis-related infection and antibiotic-loaded bone cements.

Acute and chronic adult osteomyelitis and prosthesis-related infections

Best Practice & Research Clinical Rheumatology, 1999
Both acute and chronic osteomyelitis are causes of rising concern, mainly because of the increasing number of traumatic accidents, the appearance of new groups of patients at risk, the widespread use of prosthetic devices and the emergence of new patterns of antimicrobial resistance.

Do Hip Prosthesis Related Infection Codes in Administrative Discharge Registers Correctly Classify Periprosthetic Hip Joint Infection?

HIP International, 2015
Purpose Administrative discharge registers could be a valuable and easily accessible single-sources for research data on periprosthetic hip joint infection. The aim of this study was to estimate the positive predictive value of the International Classification of Disease 10th revision (ICD-10) periprosthetic hip joint infection diagnosis code in the ...

A comparative study of antibodies against proteins extracted from staphylococcal biofilm for the diagnosis of orthopedic prosthesis–related infections in an animal model and in humans

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 2013
Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis are the microorganisms most frequently seen in periprosthetic infections (PPI) with the capacity of forming biofilm. To find potential antigens for the diagnosis of PPI, the immunogenicity of protein components in biofilm from a model biofilm-positive strain (S. epidermidis RP62A) was investigated. A
