99mtc-Ubiquicidin [29–41], a Promising Radiopharmaceutical to Differentiate Orthopedic Implant Infections from Sterile Inflammation
Ubiquicidin (UBI) [29-41] is a synthetic cationic antimicrobial peptide that preferentially binds to bacterial cell membrane at the site of infection. We aimed to assess diagnostic value of 99mTc-UBI [29-41] as a radiopharmaceutical in differentiation of bacterial infection from sterile inflammation in suspected orthopedic implants. Nine patients suspected for orthopedic implant infection, all ...

متن کاملImplant Removal Matrix for the Upper Extremity Orthopedic Surgeon
Orthopedic implant removal is a commonly performed procedure. While implant removal can be associated withimproved symptoms, risks of the surgery are notable. Stripped screws, broken and retained hardware, and morbidityassociated with soft tissue compromise during difficult removal are all common. Familiarity with the instruments iscritical to procedure success. The purpose of...

متن کاملA role for Propionibacterium acnes in post-operative orthopedic implant infections
In the US annually there are 600,000 joint prostheses and 2,000,000 fracture-fixation devices surgically implanted with an average rate of infection of 2% and 5% respectively for primary insertion. [1]. Infected orthopedic hardware is most successfully cured by a combination of prolonged antibiotics and surgical replacement, sometimes involving a 2-step operative procedure that incurs increased...
