Periprosthetic Joint Infections

This book provides a state-of-the-art,

worldwide overview of treatment options available for periprosthetic joint infection

(PJI). It highlights areas where tremendous progress has been made over the

past few years, looking at current evidence, projecting a way forward, and

discussing key topics where ongoing research is needed and could potentially

have a huge impact on the field. In addition to familiarising readers with effective

diagnostics and treatment strategies, factors such as socioeconomics

and associated morbidity are also examined in relation to this

increasingly common condition.  

*Periprosthetic Joint Infections: Changing Paradigms* includes expert guidance based on the best available evidence and practice that

can be applied in even the most difficult infection cases. To create this

keystone resource for the orthopaedic community, the editors have brought

together prominent experts from Europe and the US to give an international,

authoritative perspective on this important topic. This book is an essential

guide for specialists who deal with challenging cases of PJI in clinical

practice or researchers who are seeking a reference point to undertake further

studies in this  growing area.
