Aims. The aim of this study was to evaluate the optimal deep tissue specimen sample number for histopathological analysis in the diagnosis of periprosthetic
Aims. The management of periprosthetic
Aims. Fungal periprosthetic
Aims. Serum inflammatory parameters are widely used to aid in diagnosing a periprosthetic
Aims. This study aimed to explore the diagnostic value of synovial fluid neutrophil extracellular traps (SF-NETs) in periprosthetic
Aims. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the absolute synovial polymorphonuclear neutrophil cell (PMN) count for the diagnosis or exclusion of periprosthetic
Aims. Fungal periprosthetic
Periprosthetic
Aims. A revision for periprosthetic
Aims. The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence of culture-negative periprosthetic
Aims. This study aimed to explore the role of small colony variants (SCVs) of Staphylococcus aureus in intraosseous invasion and colonization in patients with periprosthetic
Aims. One-stage exchange for periprosthetic
Aims. Periprosthetic hip and knee infection remains one of the most severe complications following arthroplasty, with an incidence between 0.5% to 1%. This study compares the outcomes of revision surgery for periprosthetic
Aims. National joint registries under-report revisions for periprosthetic
Aims. Single-stage revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) is gaining popularity in treating chronic periprosthetic
Aims. Despite recent literature questioning their use, vancomycin and clindamycin often substitute cefazolin as the preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA), especially in the setting of documented allergy to penicillin. Topical povidone-iodine lavage and vancomycin powder (VIP) are adjuncts that may further broaden antimicrobial coverage, and have shown some promise in recent investigations. The purpose of this study, therefore, is to compare the risk of acute periprosthetic
Aims. Accurate diagnosis of chronic periprosthetic
Aims. The management of periprosthetic
Aims. Periprosthetic
Aims. Histology is an established tool in diagnosing periprosthetic
