Abstract:
The principles underlying the diagnosis and management of infection in the orthopedic patient are well established. Despite this, the patient with an infected implant still presents the orthopedic surgeon with a challenging problem. In this review, I consider the recent developments in the diagnosis and management of the infected arthroplasty, infected tibial nonunions, spinal infections, and disease transmission by bone allografts.
