Outcomes of Debridement, Antibiotics, and Implant Retention in the Management of Infected Total Knee Arthroplasty: Analysis of 5,178 Cases from the National Australian Registry.

Introduction: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating and severe complication of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The Australian Joint Registry reports an increasing number of debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) procedures, underscoring the need to comprehend outcomes for informed treatment decisions. This study aimed to determine outcome of DAIR procedures, evaluate time since primary TKA, and identify patient-related factors associated with DAIR failure.

External Validation of the Joint-Specific Bone Involvement, Antimicrobial Options, Coverage of the Soft Tissues, and Host Status (JS-BACH) Classification for Predicting Outcome in Periprosthetic Joint Infections: A Cohort of 653 Patients.

Background: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication in hip and knee joint arthroplasty. The "Joint-Specific Bone Involvement, Antimicrobial Options, Coverage of the Soft Tissues, and Host Status (JS-BACH)" classification system was developed in 2021 to stratify the complexity of PJI, and more importantly, to act as a tool to guide referrals to specialist centers. The "JS-BACH" classification has not been validated in an external cohort.

Corrigendum: Risk of reoperation due to surgical site infection in 74,771 hip fracture patients: a Danish nationwide cohort study.

Corrigendum of Acta Orthop 2022; 93: 760-766. doi: https://doi.org/10.

Risk of reoperation due to surgical site infection in 74,771 hip fracture patients: a Danish nationwide cohort study.

Background And Purpose: Surgical site infection (SSI) after hip fracture surgery is a feared condition. We examined the trend in incidence of reoperation due to SSI up to 1 year following hip fracture surgery from 2005 to 2016 and risk factors of SSI by age, sex, comorbidity, type of fracture, and surgery.

Patients And Methods: We conducted a population-based, nationwide cohort study using data from the Danish Multidisciplinary Hip Fracture Register (DMHFR).

[When the pig escaped, the cattle gun hit the knee].

Injuries sustained from a cattle gun are typically more severe than they appear. Fractures and infection are the primary concerns due to a coupling of a sustained penetrating impact, contamination of the bolt and residual foreign material left after penetration. This is a case report of an injury caused by a cattle gun.

[Children with obvious fractures may have sustained multiple injuries].

In this case report, a rare case of a distal forearm fracture in conjunction with an initially overlooked ipsilateral Monteggia Bado type III injury highlights the learning objectives of this case report. Multiple fractures occur in approximately 1% of all fracture cases in children and adolescents, and meticu-lous physical and appropriate radiographic examinations are mandatory in order to diagnose all injuries. Arthrography is a viable option for dynamic evaluation of joint congruity and stability intraoperatively.
