Management of Periprosthetic Joint Infections (PJIs): Management of PJIs discusses periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), a fairly rare occurrence that is nonetheless one of the most serious complications in joint replacement surgery. Intricate interactions between the pathogen, the host, and the implant can result in PJIs which are not only physically devastating for the patient, but also financially crippling for health authorities and insurance companies. Actions taken to minimize the risk of PJIs can be extremely challenging for the orthopaedic community. Consequently, new research, which is detailed in this comprehensive book, is being undertaken to minimize and manage these challenging infections. Provides essential background knowledge on the mechanisms and identification of PJIsDedicated chapters focus on the complex, but vital eccentricities between PJIs in different areas of the bodyContains contributions from a mixture of clinical and academic experts in the field, thus ensuring balanced coverage INDICE: 1 Types and causes of periprosthetic joint infections: 2 Prevention of joint infections 3 Biofilm formation and the biological response 4 Biomaterials and infections 5 S53P4 Bioactive Glass 6 Orthopaedic Infections: Pre-clinical Models,Diagnostic Tools and Novel Coatings 7 Periprosthetic infection in the hip joint 8 Periprosthetic infection in the knee joint 9 Periprosthetic infection in the shoulder and elbow joints 10 Practice and guidelines for treating periprosthetic joint infections 11 PMMA beads and PMMA spacers for local antibiotic administration 12 Collagen fleeces for antibiotic drug delivery: 13 Antibiotics use on specific bacterial strains: Choice of pathogen-directed antibiotic therapy 14 Management of Periprosthetic joint infection of the shoulder and elbow 15 Patient satisfaction after septic prosthetic surgery 16 Imaging
