Acute Infection in Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA): Is Early Open D閎ridement with Polyethylene Liner Exchange (ODPLE) Really Effective?Tendon Healing: Biological Principles And Augmentation with Autogenous Mesenchymal Stem Cells, Current Concepts
Abstract:viable treatment option for acute prosthetic joint infection following TKA. The promptness of ODPLE is of paramount importance for success of the procedure. In Staphylococcus aureus infections the mean success rate is 7%, while in Streptococcal or Staphylococcus epidermidis species the mean success rate is 47%. The success rate of two-stage revision for infection is diminished after a failed ODPLE (66% mean success rate). It seems that acute infections after TKA in the presence of Staphylococcus aureus must be… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
