Molecular engineering of an orthopaedic implant: from bench to bedside.
The use of metallic implants has revolutionised the practice of orthopaedic surgery. While the safety and biocompatibility of these devices are excellent, a small percentage becomes infected. These infections are due to the formation of a biofilm that harbours bacteria encased in a complex extracellular matrix. The matrix serves as a barrier to immune surveillance as well as limiting the biocid...
متن کاملUpdate on Local Treatment of Orthopaedic Infections
Infection can be a devastating complication in equine orthopaedic surgery, potentially fatal. Reported infection rates associated with equine orthopedic procedures range from 8-52%. Prompt and effective treatment must be instituted to maximize the chances of a successful outcome. A synovial cavity, bone or, implant, for example, once colonized by bacteria, constitute problematical environments ...
متن کاملMolecular & phenotypic characterization of Staphylococcus epidermidis in implant related infections
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES The discrimination between the Staphylococcus epidermidis colonizing the deep seated indwelling devices and those which are mere commensals has always been a challenge for the clinical microbiologist. This study was aimed to characterize the S. epidermidis isolates obtained from device related infection for their phenotypic and molecular markers of virulence and to see w...
متن کاملThe prevention of orthopaedic implant and vascular graft infections.
The infection rate for any surgical prosthesis insertion should be less than 1% in the first postoperative year. If infection occurs the patients will lose their new found mobility, lose their independence, be hospitalized with sepsis, both local and systemic, and perhaps die. Preoperative and intraoperative measures to prevent infection are well established in orthopaedic surgery but less scie...
