ABSTRACT Sonication improved the diagnosis of orthopedic implant-associated infections (OIAI). We investigated diagnostic performance sonication fluid inoculated into blood culture bottles in comparison with that intraoperative tissue and cultures. Consecutive patients removed hardware were prospectively included classified as having OIAI or aseptic failure (AF) according to standardized criteria. The procedure collection five cultures device, followed by conventional fluid. Cultures...
This clinical guideline is intended for use by orthopedic surgeons and physicians who care patients with possible or documented septic arthritis of a native joint (SANJO). It includes evidence opinion-based recommendations the diagnosis management SANJO.
Background: The use of electric scooters has increased considerably as they are an accessible means transportation. number injuries from falls and collisions risen significantly. Therefore, the aim study was to describe demographics injury patterns scooter accidents produced over one year. Methods: A prospective observational scooter- related presented in emergency room May 2019 until 2020. inclusion criteria based on direct cause while use.

Infection after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) is a rare but severe complication. Despite an increase in articles published on this topic over the last decade, solid data to optimized diagnostic and therapeutic measures are scarce. For reason, European Bone Joint Society (EBJIS) for Sports Traumatology, Knee Surgery Arthroscopy (ESSKA) collaborated order develop recommendations diagnosis management of infections ACL-R. The aim workgroup was perform review literature...
Age-related bone loss is asymptomatic, and the morbidity of osteoporosis secondary to fractures that occur. Common sites fracture include spine, hip, forearm proximal humerus. Fractures at hip incur greatest mortality give rise highest direct costs for health services. Their incidence increases exponentially with age. Independently changes in population demography, age - sex- specific osteoporotic appears be increasing developing developed countries. This could mean more than double expected...
Presoaking anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) grafts in vancomycin has been reported to reduce the occurrence of septic arthritis (SA). However, strong recommendations for its universal use have precluded by concerns regarding fragility previous meta-analyses.The primary objective was investigate whether presoaking ACL associated with a reduction rate SA large series patients. The secondary perform an updated systematic review and meta-analysis determine efficacy reducing SA.Cohort study...
The rising volume of primary hip and knee arthroplasties has led to a parallel increase in revision surgeries, creating significant clinical economic challenges for healthcare systems worldwide. This study synthesizes national arthroplasty registry data evaluate trends aetiology, associated costs regional disparities. While advancements prosthetic design have reduced aseptic loosening rates (declining 35.1% hips 18.3% knees), septic complications now account growing proportion cases, 18.2%...
