Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Infectious disease
  • Biomaterials science

Context:

  • Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a significant complication following joint replacement surgery.
  • Increasing incidence and treatment challenges necessitate improved prophylactic and therapeutic strategies.
  • High treatment costs associated with PJI place a burden on healthcare systems.

Purpose:

  • To highlight the challenges posed by periprosthetic joint infections.
  • To emphasize the need for enhanced prophylactic measures and novel treatment approaches.
  • To explore future directions in managing PJI, including antibiotic-coated implants and biofilm control.

Summary:

  • Periprosthetic infection remains a serious risk in joint arthroplasty, with rising cases and suboptimal treatment outcomes.
