Sternoclavicular joint infection in an adult without predisposing risk factors.
Septic arthritis of the sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) is an uncommon condition and it has been associated with numerous predisposing factors. We describe a rare case of SCJ infection due to Staphylococcus aureus in an adult without known underlying predisposing conditions and in which recovery was achieved with medical therapy alone.
متن کاملLow rate of infection control in enterococcal periprosthetic joint infections.
BACKGROUND Enterococcal periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are rare after joint arthroplasty. These cases are usually reported in series of PJIs caused by other pathogens. Because few studies have focused only on enterococcal PJIs, management and control of infection of these cases have not yet been well defined. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We asked (1) what is the proportion of enterococcal PJI i...
متن کاملPeriarticular Osteophytes as an Appendicular Joint Stress Marker (JSM): Analysis in a Contemporary Japanese Skeletal Collection
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility that periarticular osteophytes plays a role as a appendicular joint stress marker (JSM) which reflects the biomechanical stresses on individuals and populations. METHODS A total of 366 contemporary Japanese skeletons (231 males, 135 females) were examined closely to evaluate the periarticular osteophytes of six major joints, t...
متن کاملParasitized mates increase infection risk for partners.
Individuals can gain fitness benefits and costs through their mates. However, studies on sexual selection have tended to focus on genetic benefits. A potentially widespread cost of pairing with a parasitized mate is that doing so will increase an individual's parasite abundance. Such a cost has been overlooked in systems in which parasites are indirectly transmitted. We manipulated the abundanc...
متن کاملPrevention of Periprosthetic Joint Infection
Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a calamitous complication with high morbidity and substantial cost. The reported incidence is low but it is probably underestimated due to the difficulty in diagnosis. PJI has challenged the orthopaedic community for several years and despite all the advances in this field, it is still a real concern with immense impact on patients, and the healthcare system....
