Abstract

Periprosthetic joint infection is one of the most challenging complications of total joint replacement surgery. Until very recently, the infection diagnosis was not clearly defined in the orthopaedic literature. This review outlines the new definition of periprosthetic joint infection, the utility of various clinical, serological and radiological tests in the prevention and diagnosis of infection. Treatment strategies and principles are also reviewed in the light of the current literature.
