Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2019 Detection of the most frequently bacteria involved in prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is usually performed by conventional cultures. We report a case of early PJI due to Ureaplasma urealyticum, diagnosed by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, which ...

Pathogenesis of Prosthetic Joint Infections
, 2012 Every wound is contaminated, but not all wounds end with a prosthetic joint infection (PJI). The pathogenic process involves bacterial adhesion steps that are fundamental in the early stage of PJI development and the consecutive biofilm formation. Biofilm development is an essential step in establishment of a chronic PJI.

MRI of Total Hip Arthroplasty: Successful Ripple Artifact Reduction Using Wavelet Domain Filtering
Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Slice encoding for metal artifact correction (SEMAC) is used in MRI for total hip arthroplasties for metal artifact reduction. However, ripple artifacts often arise near the implant, impairing diagnosis in affected regions. Hypothesis Applying a wavelet domain filter (WD‐Filter) might reduce ripple artifacts and improve image ...

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose Patients who have undergone anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) may later require total knee arthroplasty (TKA) due to osteoarthritis (OA). The impact of previous ACLR on patient‐reported outcomes (PROs) after TKA remains uncertain.

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose Data on the reliability of point‐of‐care (POC) tests for the rapid diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) using synovial fluid (SF) D‐dimer (DD), interleukin 6 (IL‐6) and procalcitonin (PCT) are limited. This study aimed to address this issue by evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of POC tests for SF DD, IL‐6 and PCT in ...
