There have been only a few small studies of patients
with an infected shoulder replacement treated with a single-stage
exchange procedure. We retrospectively reviewed 35 patients (19 men

Prospective data on hip fracture from 3686 patients at a United Kingdom teaching hospital were analysed to investigate the risk factors, financial costs and outcomes associated with deep or superficial wound

We conducted a case-control study to examine
the merit of silver-coated tumour prostheses. We reviewed 85 patients
with Agluna-treated (silver-coated) tumour implants treated between
2006 and 2011 and matched them with 85 control patients treated
between 2001 and 2011 with identical, but uncoated, tumour prostheses. . In all, 106 men and 64 women with a mean age of 42.2 years (18.4
to 90.4) were included in the study. There were 50 primary reconstructions
(29.4%); 79 one-stage revisions (46.5%) and 41 two-stage revisions

Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains a serious complication that is associated with high morbidity and costs. The aim of this study was to prepare a systematic review to examine patient-related and perioperative risk factors that can be modified in an attempt to reduce the rate of PJI. A search of PubMed and MEDLINE was conducted for articles published between January 1990 and February 2018 with a combination of search terms to identify studies that dealt with modifiable risk factors for reducing the rate of PJI. An evidence-based review was performed on 12 specific risk factors: glycaemic control, obesity, malnutrition, smoking, vitamin D levels, preoperative Aims
Materials and Methods
There are few reports in the literature of the diagnosis and treatment of the infected shoulder arthroplasty. Most deal with resection arthroplasty and two-stage exchange surgery. We present our results of one-stage exchange operation as treatment for the infected shoulder arthroplasty. Our group comprised 16 patients (ten men, six women) with 16 infected arthroplasties. By the time of follow-up, two patients had died (mean 5.8 years), two could not be located and three had already undergone revision surgery. Nine patients were thus available for clinical examination and assessment. The
