Patient Outcomes in a Novel Osseointegrated Device for Transfemoral Amputation: a case series
Background Socket suspension (SS) prosthetics are the current standard for transfemoral amputee prosthetic management. The SS systems have been shown to be inefficient in energy transfer, leading to gait alteration, wear discomfort, and skin complications. Many...
High Rates of Treatment Failure and Amputation in Modular Endoprosthesis Prosthetic Joint Infections Caused by Fungal Infections With Candida
Background: Fungal prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are rare yet severe events associated with high rates of recurrent infection. Although bacterial PJIs associated with megaprostheses are known to be associated with higher rates of recurrence and amputation,...
Can Periprosthetic Joint Infection of Tumor Prostheses Be Controlled With Debridement, Antibiotics, and Implant Retention?
Background: Two-stage revision for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in patients who have undergone segmental replacement of the distal femur or proximal tibia after tumor resection can be associated with considerable morbidity, pain, and risk of complications...
