Low rate of infection control in enterococcal periprosthetic joint infections.
BACKGROUND Enterococcal periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are rare after joint arthroplasty. These cases are usually reported in series of PJIs caused by other pathogens. Because few studies have focused only on enterococcal PJIs, management and control of infection of these cases have not yet been well defined. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We asked (1) what is the proportion of enterococcal PJI i...
متن کاملPrevention of Periprosthetic Joint Infection
Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a calamitous complication with high morbidity and substantial cost.

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....

Implantation of joint prostheses is becoming increasingly common, especially for the hip and knee. Infection is considered to be the most devastating of prosthesis-related complications, leading to prolonged hospitalization, repeated surgical intervention, and even definitive loss of the implant. The main risk factors to periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are advanced age, malnutrition, obe...
