Article Synopsis
- Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) poses significant risks after total hip arthroplasty (THA), and the study examined changes in patient demographics and comorbidities over 13 years at a major joint surgery center.
- The research included data from 423 PJI revision surgeries, showing an increase in patients with higher comorbidity (ASA-class 4) and early infection rates between 2008 and 2021.
- Results indicated a rise in 1-stage revisions and infections from Staphylococcus aureus, highlighting the growing difficulty in treating PJIs due to increasing comorbidity burdens among patients.
Background: Numerous studies, including randomized controlled trials (RCTs), have been published on the optimal graft choice for primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.
Purpose: To review existing studies to investigate whether advances in orthopaedics have affected revision rates after primary ACL reconstruction.
Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4.
