“…Total joint replacement (TJR) of the hip and knee is a common orthopedic procedure that provides significant improvements in patients' quality of life [1,2]. Unfortunately, 1% of primary TJR cases develop periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), a devastating complication that requires morbid revision surgery and is associated with high patient dissatisfaction [3,4].…”

Innovative treatment strategies of bacterial and biofilm infections revolve around (a) augmenting current therapies, such as improving the delivery and efficiency of conventional antibiotics and enhancing the efficacy of antiseptics and (b) administrating completely new therapeutic modalities, such as using immunotherapy, nanoparticles, lytic bacteriophages, photodynamic therapy, novel antibiotics, and antimicrobial peptides. Several promising treatment strategies for PJI are available to be tested further. The next requirement for most of the novel treatments is reproducing their effects in clinically representative animal models of PJI against clinical isolates of relevant bacteria.

“…Hip replacement remains one of the main options to relieve hip pain in elderly patients [ 1 – 3 ]. Through surgical intervention, the patient's hip bone function impairment caused by fractures or deformities can be improved to a certain extent, thereby significantly improving their quality of life [ 4 – 6 ].…”

Objective. To compare the effect of ropivacaine in different concentrations under ultrasound guidance on lumbar muscle nerve blocking in elderly patients undergoing hip replacement surgery. Methods. 60 elderly patients underwent hip replacement in our hospital over a period of April to December of 2019 were equally randomized into control and observation groups, with 30 each. Patients in the control group and observation group received 0.5% and 0.25% ropivacaine to block psoas muscle nerve, respectively. The anesthetic effect of ropivacaine at different concentrations was evaluated by time of sensory block onset and recovery and time of motor block onset and regression, blood pressure, heart rate, visual analogy scale, and postoperative nerve blocking degree. Results. The onset time of sensory and motor block in the observation group was dramatically higher than that in the control group ( P < 0.05 ), while the recovery time of sensory and motor was significantly shorter than that of the control group ( P < 0.05 ). The heart rate in the observation group was notably lower than that in the control group, while the average blood pressure was remarkably higher ( P < 0.05 ). After surgery, the degree of nerve block in the observation group was much lower compared with the control group ( P < 0.05 ), while no marked difference in the visual analogue scale in the control group before and after surgical intervention was observed ( P > 0.05 ). Conclusion. The 0.25% ropivacaine method has distinctive advantages over 0.50% ropivacaine psoas nerve anesthesia in hip replacement surgery in elderly patients.

“…Total joint replacements (TJRs) are surgical procedures carried out most frequently on patients suffering from arthritic pain or bone fractures [1][2][3][4][5]. These procedures are largely considered successful, with success rates up to 90% at 10 years follow-up for total hip replacements (THRs) and total knee replacements (TKRs) [6,7].…”

Ceramic coatings deposited on orthopedic implants are an alternative to achieve and maintain high wear resistance of the metallic device, and simultaneously allow for a reduction in metal ion release. Silicon nitride based (SiNx) coatings deposited by high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) have shown potential for use in joint replacements, as a result of an improved chemical stability in combination with a good adhesion. This study investigated the effect of N, C, Cr, and Nb content on the tribocorrosive performance of 3.7 to 8.8 µm thick SiNx coatings deposited by HiPIMS onto CoCrMo discs. The coating composition was assessed from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and the surface roughness by vertical scanning interferometry. Hardness and Young’s modulus were measured by nanoindentation and coating adhesion was investigated by scratch tests. Multidirectional wear tests against ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene pins were performed for 2 million cycles in bovine serum solution (25%) at 37 °C, at an estimated contact pressure of 2.1 MPa. Coatings with a relatively low hardness tended to fail earlier in the wear test, due to chemical reactions and eventually dissolution, accelerated by the tribological contact. In fact, while no definite correlation could be observed between coating composition (N: 42.6–55.5 at %, C: 0–25.7 at %, Cr: 0 or 12.8 at %, and Nb: 0–24.5 at %) and wear performance, it was apparent that high-purity and/or -density coatings (i.e., low oxygen content and high nitrogen content) were desirable to prevent coating and/or counter surface wear or failure. Coatings deposited with a higher energy fulfilled the target profile in terms of low surface roughness (Ra < 20 nm), adequate adhesion (Lc2 > 30 N), chemical stability over time in the tribocorrosive environment, as well as low polymer wear, presenting potential for a future application in joint bearings.
