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.
The purpose of this current multicentre study is to analyse the presence alpha-defensin proteins in synovial fluid using Synovasure lateral flow device and determine its diagnostic reliability accuracy compared with prosthetic joint infection (PJI) criteria produced by Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS).A cohort 121 patients comprising 85 total knee arthroplasties 36 hip was prospectively evaluated between May 2015 June 2016 three different orthopaedic centres. tests were performed on...
Researchers and clinicians commonly use the classification system of Stulberg et al. as a basis for treatment decisions during active phase Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease because its putative utility predictor long-term outcome. It is generally assumed that this has an acceptable degree reliability. This assumption, however, not convincingly supported by literature.The purpose present study was to assess inter-rater intra-rater reliability with pre-test, post-test design. During pre-test phase,...
Abstract Background Vancomycin is a commonly prescribed antibiotic to treat gram-positive infections. The efficacy of vancomycin known be directly related the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) index area under concentration-time curve (AUC) divided by minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) pathogen. However, in most countries, steady-state plasma concentrations are used as surrogate parameter target AUC/MIC, but this practice has some drawbacks. Hence, direct AUC-guided monitoring...
Cladophialophora bantiana is a neurotropic dematiaceous fungus which rarely causes disseminated disease. We report case of proven C. osteomyelitis in renal transplant recipient, complicated with probable cerebral Stable disease was reached after combined antifungal therapies, immune enhancement and amputation the infected lower limb.
Objectives In prosthetic joint infections (PJIs), there is no consensus about the utility of preoperative aspiration culture to guide antimicrobial treatment. The main objective this retrospective study was investigate value these samples narrow immediate postoperative empirical treatment in patients with a knee or hip PJI.Methods Adult admitted for an exchange procedure between June 2007 and July 2016 whom within 6 months prior available antibiotic-free interval before sampling, were...
The purpose of this study was to develop a method defining, in mathematical terms, the interpositional relationships bones hindfoot complex idiopathic clubfoot and neurogenic clubfoot. contralateral normal-appearing foot stillborn infant with myelomeningocele, normal 10-year-old were sectioned cryomicrotome. Magnetic resonance images (MRIs) 3-month-old boy obtained. Using computer program, three-dimensional models generated from digitized cryomicrotome sections MRIs. central principal axes...

Aim Fast and accurate identification of pathogens causing periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) is essential to initiate effective antimicrobial treatment. Culture-based approaches frequently yield false negative results, despite clear signs infection. This may be due the use general growth media, which do not mimic conditions at site Possible alternative include DNA-based techniques, in vivo- like media isothermal microcalorimetry (ITC). We developed a synthetic synovial fluid (SSF) medium...
The concept of Debridement, Antibiotics and Implant Retention (DAIR) is well known in periprosthetic joint infections. Extrapolating this to fracture related infections mired controversies. Characteristics the metal implant, duration infection, state healing, microbiological profile etc. appear play a role decision making process whether or not keep, adjust , exchange remove (infected) metalwork. More than likely it quality source control by meticulous debridement having major impact DAIR...
