<\/p>\n

The diagnosis of\u00a0prosthetic joint-associated infections<\/strong> can be difficult, due to the\u00a0complex pathophysiology of this infection<\/strong><\/a>, and the ways that pathogens, responsible for the infection, can evade detection. Therefore a “grey zone”<\/strong> can exist, when patients, truly presenting with infection, receive negative bacterial culture results. During the 2018 International Consensus Meeting in Philadelphia (ICM Philly), international recommendations<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0were issued for the diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection. We use these criteria at CRIOAc Lyon <\/strong>(summerised below)\u00a0and adapt the care of each patient accordingly.<\/strong><\/div>\n\"\"\n

Prosthetic joint infections<\/strong> are complex to manage. Several algorithms<\/strong>\u00a0are available in the literature and various international recommendations<\/strong><\/a>. CRIOAc Lyon<\/strong> has developed an algorithm which is based on a clinical approach and which takes into account the complex pathophysiology of this infection<\/strong><\/a> (highlighted by our research<\/strong><\/a>), and also takes into account the recommendations<\/strong><\/a>. Management is adapted to each patient, in order to treat the infection, while preserving limb function.<\/strong><\/div>\n

These different medical-surgical strategies<\/strong> are discussed on a case-by-case basis during MDT meetings<\/strong><\/a>. “Suppressive” antibiotic therapy<\/strong> is an oral antibiotic therapy which can be administered, if well-tolerated, for an indefinite duration. It is reserved for patients presenting chronic infection, experiencing only mild functional sequelae, and for patients who cannot undergo a change of prosthetic due to risk outweighing benefits<\/strong>. In this situation, eradication of the bacteria is not possible, and more often than not, long-term antibiotics can let bacteria persist in a state of dormancy in biofilm<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
