Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a severe complication following total joint arthroplasty (TJA).
  • Significant progress has been made in addressing PJI over the past decade.
  • Effective management strategies are crucial for patient outcomes and implant longevity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent advancements in the diagnosis and management of infected joint implants.
  • To contextualize these new methods within the existing body of research.
  • To assess the current success rates of PJI treatment in lower and upper limb arthroplasty.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent publications on PJI diagnosis and treatment.
  • Analysis of treatment success rates for lower and upper limb TJA.

  • Synthesis of current knowledge and historical context.

    • Main Results:

    • Modern diagnostic and management techniques show high success rates, up to 90% in lower limb cases.
    • Treatment outcomes for infected upper limb arthroplasty are also showing improvement.
    • Recent advances build upon established principles in managing infected implants.

    Conclusions:

    • The diagnosis and management of infected total joint arthroplasty have seen substantial improvements.
    • Current treatment protocols offer high success rates, particularly for lower limb infections.
    • Continued research and application of advanced methods are enhancing outcomes for patients with infected implants.
