Abstract

FREITAS, Filipa; VIRGOLINO, Manuel  and  RIBEIRO, Carlos. Infecção de prótese articular da anca e joelho. Rev. Port. Ortop. Traum. [online]. 2013, vol.21, n.2, pp.165-172. ISSN 1646-2122.

Periprosthetic joint infection is one of the most formidable challenges for arthroplasty surgeons. The management of infection associated with prosthetic joints is poorly standartized because of the varied clinical presentation and the lack of data from randomized, controlled trials. Successful treatment of prosthetic joint infection consists, not only, of eliminating the infection but also of restoring patient mobility, which is important for patient satisfaction.

Keywords : Prosthetic joint infection (PJI); antimicrobial; 2-stage exchange strategy.
