Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a significant burden in health care. Diagnosis and proper management are challenging. A standardised procedure for the diagnostic workup and surgical management provides clear benefits in outcome.

2025年3月20日 · bilateral TKA resection arthroplasty followed by 6 weeks of antibiotics and bilateral reimplantation has excellent results at 2-year follow-up early reimplantation within 2 weeks has 35% success rate

Peri-prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a significant complication following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Early identification and management are essential to prevent severe morbidity and mortality in these patients.

2023年10月31日 · Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most common elective surgeries in the US due to increasing rates of obesity and an aging population. 1,2 Prosthetic joint infection (PJI), one of the most serious complications of TKA, can result in substantial morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. 3 Despite the clinical implications of PJIs ...

2017年3月14日 · Periprosthetic Joint Infection (PJI) is a cause of significant morbidity and mortality. The preoperative patient optimization protocols (see preop optimization) were created in a large degree to minimize infection risk due to its correlation with obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, malnutrition, smoking, and s.aureus colonization.

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a major adverse event of primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) from the patient’s perspective, and it is also costly for health care systems. In 2010, the reported incidence of PJI in the first 2 years after TKA was 1.55%, with an incidence of 0.46% between the second and tenth year.

2023年2月1日 · A well-documented and thorough antibiotic regime guided by specialist microbiologists is vital alongside revision TKA for PJI to reduce the likelihood of re-infection. A randomised control trial involving seven centres in North America for two-stage exchange arthroplasty for PJI reported the benefits of antibiotics postoperatively.

2024年11月9日 · Peri-prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a significant complication following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Early identification and management are essential to prevent severe morbidity and mortality in these patients.

One of the most devastating complications of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Although many complications associated with TKA have decreased over time, the trends associated with PJI are less clear. Thus, the purpose of this study is to determine the incidence and risk factors for PJI after primary TKA.

2024年10月12日 · Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is a surgery that is commonly performed on older adults to improve their quality of life. However, the increasing use of knee joint prostheses has led to a rise in the incidence of Prosthetic Joint Infections (PJI) in patients after TKA.
