Prevention of Periprosthetic Joint Infection
Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a calamitous complication with high morbidity and substantial cost. The reported incidence is low but it is probably underestimated due to the difficulty in diagnosis. PJI has challenged the orthopaedic community for several years and despite all the advances in this field, it is still a real concern with immense impact on patients, and the healthcare system....
متن کاملDiagnosis of Periprosthetic Joint infection: from Novel Synovial Fluid Biomarkers to Identification of the Etiological Agent
Joint replacement surgery is a success story in orthopaedic surgery which brought clear clinical and economical benefits. As the prevalence of total joint arthroplasty continues to rise worldwide, the incidence of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is expected to increase [1]. Infection of the prosthesis is one of the most worrisome complications and has an overwhelming impact on patients and...
متن کاملPeriprosthetic joint infection: are patients with multiple prosthetic joints at risk?
Patients who present with a periprosthetic joint infection in a single joint may have multiple prosthetic joints. The risk of these patients developing a subsequent infection in another prosthetic joint is unknown. Our purposes were (1) to identify the risk of developing a subsequent infection in another prosthetic joint and (2) to describe the time span and organism profile to the second prost...
متن کاملComparison of Leukocyte Esterase Testing of Synovial Fluid with Synovial Histology for the Diagnosis of Periprosthetic Joint Infection
BACKGROUND Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a complication of total joint arthroplasty (TJA). The leukocyte esterase (LE) strip test and histology are diagnostic methods for PJI. The aims of this study were to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the LE strip test and to compare it with histology in the diagnosis of PJI. MATERIAL AND METHODS Between January and December 2015, 93 ...
متن کاملInterleukin-6 in Serum and in Synovial Fluid Enhances the Differentiation between Periprosthetic Joint Infection and Aseptic Loosening
The preoperative differentiation between septic and aseptic loosening after total hip or knee arthroplasty is essential for successful therapy and relies in part on biomarkers. The objective of this study was to assess synovial and serum levels of inflammatory proteins as diagnostic tool for periprosthetic joint infection and compare their accuracy with standard tests. 120 patients presenting w...
