Candida parapsilosis in Late Prosthetic Joint Infections Among Immunocompetent Patients: A Case Series.

Introduction: Fungal prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are very rare in immunocompetent patients. PJI can present either early, delayed, or as late chronic infections. Diagnosis of fungal PJI presenting late is challenging due to the difficulty in isolation as well as the clinical presentation very similar to an aseptic loosening.

Cruciate-retaining Arthroplasty in Patients with Severe Varus Deformity: A Retrospective Comparative Study.

Introduction: There has been debate regarding the advantages of cruciate-retaining over posterior stabilized (PS) knee arthroplasty and vice versa. Many authors consider any coronal plane deformity > 15° as a contraindication for cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty. We aimed to compare whether functional outcome, deformity correction, and survivorship of cruciate retaining knee arthroplasty (CR) for severe varus deformity are equivalent to that ofposterior cruciate ligament substituting (PS) for 6 years.

Bilateral Primary Iliopsoas Abscess with Bilateral Hip Septic Arthritis - A Rare Case Report.

Introduction: Iliopsoas abscess is an uncommon condition, often with insidious and nonspecific symptoms. Patients often present with a limp, fever, weight loss, and flank or abdominal pain. An iliopsoas abscess can be either primary or secondary depending on the presence or absence of an underlying disease.

Single-Stage Revision With Fluconazole Monotherapy in Fungal Prosthetic Knee Joint Infections.

Fungal prosthetic joint infection is rare, and two-stage revision is usually advocated. We present our experience with 2 cases of fungal prosthetic knee joint infection presenting 25 months and 3 years after index surgery. Both patients were managed with single-stage revision arthroplasty and fluconazole monotherapy.
