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.
