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

Biomaterials, 2003
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.

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, 2012
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

Bone tissue and plasma concentrations of linezolid and vancomycin in rabbits with prosthesis-related infection due to MRSA.

Die Pharmazie, 2009
Due to its safety profile and ease of oral administration, linezolid became an alternative to vancomycin in the treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections. The aim of our study was to compare bone tissue and plasma concentrations of linezolid and vancomycin in prosthesis-related MRSA infection in a rabbit model.During ...

[Prosthesis-related infections].

Revue medicale de Bruxelles, 2000
Long-term prosthetic devices are rapidly recovered by host proteins which increase bacterial adhesion. The bacteria can also produce extracellular polysaccharide material, which in combination of host proteins, produce a biofilm. This one decreases the host defense mechanisms, antibiotics penetration and efficacy, increasing infectivity of the ...

Prosthesis-related infection. Etiology, prophylaxis and diagnosis (a review).

Acta orthopaedica Belgica, 1990
The recent literature concerning prosthesis-related infection is reviewed with respect to etiology, prophylaxis and diagnosis. Most prosthesis-related infections are initiated during operation by contamination with bacteria-carrying particles from the air as a result of dispersion of skin scales from individuals in the operating room. A small number of

[Two-stage reimplantation using spacers--the method of choice in treatment of hip joint prosthesis-related infections. Comparison with methods used from 1979 to 1998].

Acta chirurgiae orthopaedicae et traumatologiae Cechoslovaca, 2003
Several therapies are available for the treatment of deep infection in total hip arthroplasty but none is completely successful; there is no consensus on an optimal method. The aim of this study was to evaluate the treatment used in our institution and its outcomes over the last 20 years.
