Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology

Context:

  • Periprosthetic joint infection complicates 0.5%-2% of joint replacement surgeries.
  • Pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus and skin commensals colonize implants early.
  • Bacterial adhesion, biofilm formation, and metabolic adaptation are key pathogenic mechanisms.

Purpose:

  • To outline the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of periprosthetic joint infections.
  • To highlight the role of specific bacterial mechanisms in infection development.
  • To emphasize the importance of tailored antimicrobial and surgical strategies.

Summary:

  • Diagnosis involves complex culture procedures and molecular testing.
  • Treatment requires a combination of antimicrobial therapy and surgical intervention.
  • Prevention strategies include mandatory perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis.

Impact:

  • Improved understanding of periprosthetic infection pathogenesis.
  • Guidance for optimizing diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
  • Emphasis on preventive measures to reduce complication rates.
