  7. 5. Periprosthetic Joint Infections. Clinical and Epidemiological Aspects

    Author : Olof Thompson; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; prosthetic joint infection; arthroplasty; Streptococcus; Enterococcus; register; mortality;

    Abstract : Periprostheteic joint infection (PJI) is a rare complication of arthroplasty with severe consequences for the affected patients. PJI most often necessitates additional surgery and prolonged courses of antibiotic treatment, leading to worse functional results and increased societal costs. READ MORE
