Prosthetic-Joint Infections

New England Journal of Medicine, 2004
Modern techniques have reduced the frequency of infections that are associated with prosthetic joints, but such infections continue to pose difficult problems in clinical management. Advances in understanding biofilms and the pathogenesis of microbial interactions with the implant have led to more rational approaches to therapy.

Prosthetic Joint Infections

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2005
Success in the treatment of infected orthopedic prosthesis requires the best surgical approach in combination with prolonged optimum targeted antimicrobial therapy. In choosing the surgical option, one must consider the type of infection, condition of the bone stock and soft tissue, the virulence and antimicrobial susceptibility of the pathogen, the ...

Prosthetic Joint Infections

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2014
Prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are often managed by surgical treatment of irrigation and debridement (I&D) in acute infections, and 1-stage or 2-stage exchange arthroplasty in chronic infections. Patients who undergo I&D have had lower success rates compared with patients who undergo exchange arthroplasty, especially if resistant organisms are ...

Expert Review of Anti-infective Therapy, 2005
Infection is the second most common cause of prosthetic joint failure. Signs and symptoms associated with prosthetic joint infection may develop weeks or even years following arthroplasty. While some patients with prosthetic joint infection present with findings consistent with acute septic arthritis, many present with pain alone.

Prosthetic Joint Infection

Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde, 2020
Over one million hip and knee arthroplasties are performed every year in the United States, and that number is expected to increase as the population ages and patients are meeting the indication for a prosthetic joint at a younger age. The incidence of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) varies between 0.5% and 2.0% but can be higher if the patient has ...

Prosthetic joint infection

Current Infectious Disease Reports, 1999
Total joint replacement has been one of the most remarkable successes of modern medical technology. Once John Charnley had solved the problems of implant design, choice of materials, implant fixation, and infection (initial rates of infection were approximately 10%), the way was clear for the widespread use of this valuable treatment, which is highly ...

Prosthetic Joint Infection Update

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2018
Prosthetic joint infection occurs in a minority of arthroplasties performed; however, it brings a large burden to both the individual and society in terms of morbidity, mortality, and health care expenditure. Although prevention of prosthetic joint infection is becoming more effective, the number of total arthroplasties in patients with increasing ...
