BACKGROUND: The use of antibiotic-loaded cement has become a well-accepted method to develop high local antibiotic concentrations in revision surgery of infected arthroplasty. A new surgical technique has been established to further increase the loca...
BACKGROUND: Periprosthetic joint infection is the most common cause of readmissions after total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Intrawound vancomycin powder (VP) has reduced infection rates in spine surgery; however, there are no data regarding VP in prima...

INTRODUCTION: Prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) is a serious complication of prosthetic valve implantation, with an estimated yearly incidence of at least 0.4-1.0%. The Duke criteria and subsequent modifications have been developed as a diagnostic ...
AIMS: Although there are various model-based approaches to individualized vancomycin (VCM) administration, few have been reported for adult patients with periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). This work attempted to develop a machine learning (ML)-bas...

INTRODUCTION: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains a devastating complication for patients and surgeons. Given the implications of these infections and the current paucity of risk calculators utilizing m...
BACKGROUND: Periprosthetic joint infection leads to significant morbidity and mortality after total knee arthroplasty. Preoperative and perioperative risk prediction and assessment tools are lacking in Asia. This study developed the first machine lea...
