ABSTRACT Musculoskeletal infections (MSKI) remain the bane of orthopedic surgery, and result in grievous illness inordinate costs that threaten healthcare systems. As prevention, diagnosis, treatment has remained largely unchanged over last 50 years, a 2nd International Consensus Meeting on Infection (ICM 2018, https://icmphilly.com ) was completed. Questions pertaining to all areas MSKI were extensively researched prepare recommendations, which discussed voted by delegates using Delphi...

Background: Alpha defensin is a new biomarker that has been shown to have very high accuracy rule out periprosthetic joint infection. Recently, rapid lateral flow version of the alpha test was developed and introduced detect levels in synovial fluid quickly with ease. We conducted single-center prospective clinical study compare results Synovasure Defensin Test those Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) criteria, which are considered be gold standard for diagnosing Methods: A total 223...
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication that leads to enormous economic and health care complaints from affected patients. The aim of this study identify the causative pathogens responsible for PJI, evaluate temporal trends concerning pathogen pattern potential risk factors PJI.This was retrospective analysing total 937 patients suffering PJI hip or knee between 2003 2011.In total, 394 (42.0 %) with arthroplasty (TKA), 477 (50.9 (THA) 64 (6.8 receiving dual-head...
Chronic neuropathic pain (CNP) is a common condition associated with spinal cord injury (SCI) and has been reported to be severe, disabling often treatment-resistant therefore remains clinical challenge for the attending physicians. The treatment usually includes pharmacological and/or nonpharmacological approaches. Body weight supported treadmill training (BWSTT) locomotion driven gait orthosis (DGO) have evolved over last decades are now considered an established part in rehabilitation of...
Background: One-stage exchange arthroplasty in the management of periprosthetic joint infection was introduced at our institution. The purpose this study to analyze risk factors failure after following total knee treated with 1-stage exchange. Methods: Ninety-one patients who underwent failed treatment due from January 2008 December 2017 were included. From same period, we randomly selected a 1:1 matched control group without subsequent revision surgical procedure. Bivariate analyses,...
S . epidermidis is a substantial component of the human skin microbiota, but also one major causes nosocomial infection in context implanted medical devices. We here aimed to advance understanding genotypes and phenotypes conducive establishment. Furthermore, we investigate adaptation individual clonal lines lifestyle based on detailed analysis populations 23 patients suffering from prosthetic joint infection. Analysis invasive colonizing provided evidence that are characterized by...
Case-control study.We designed a case-control study to analyze the risk factors associated with development of heterotopic ossification (HO) in patients traumatic spinal cord injury.Patients injury have high developing HO, although exact etiopathogenesis is still unknown. Several are known be potential factors. However, we not aware any large clinical studies evaluating for HO.Patients who were treated our hospital, and subsequently developed identified by querying electronic database at...
Background High-volume hospitals have achieved better outcomes for THAs and unicompartmental knee arthroplasties (UKAs). However, few studies analyzed implant survival after primary TKA in high-volume centers. Questions/Purposes Is the risk of revision surgery higher when receiving a low-volume hospital than hospital? Methods Using nationwide billing data largest German healthcare insurer inpatient treatment, we identified 45,165 TKAs 44,465 patients insured by Allgemeine Ortskrankenkasse...
Introduction: The treatment of extensive bone loss and massive acetabular defects can be compounded by several challenges pitfalls. survivorship following revision with is still unsatisfactory. goal the present study was to analyse outcomes 3D-printed patient-specific components in management combined pelvic discontinuity (PD). Methods: 9 patients underwent THA using custom reconstruct defects. Paprosky classifications were determined all patients. primary outcome measure implant-associated...
Background: Despite its well-established limitations, culture remains the gold standard for microbial identification in periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). However, there are no benchmarks time to positivity (TTP) on specific microorganisms. This study aimed determine TTP pathogens commonly encountered PJI. Methods: retrospective, multicenter reviewed prospectively maintained institutional PJI databases identify patients who underwent hip or knee revision arthroplasty from 2017 2021 at 2...
Substantial bone loss in revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a challenging problem. We studied whether impaction grafting provides long-term restoration of stock the treatment major defects surgery rotational and hinged arthroplasties (LINK Endo-Model).Between 1996 2006, 29 knees patients underwent procedures using (IBG) to reconstruct defects. At latest follow-up, clinical examination included Knee Society score (KSS), standardized radiographs, questionnaire for WOMAC score.After mean...
