ORTHOGEN : Système d'information intégré pour la traçabilité et la Gestion Multi-Paramètres des Infections Orthopédiques

Diagnosing orthopedic infection with or without the presence of prosthesis (mainly hip and knee) remains today, very delicate. Primarily, the difficulty of differential diagnosis between aseptic loosening and mechanical septic loosening of a prosthesis follows from the inherently indolent infection. Diagnosis inadequate, late or inadequate treatment of a bad initial diagnosis, may be the cause of disabling pain, and sequelae of complications for the patient, not to mention the significant direct and indirect costs to the patient and society. In this paper, we present a platform full diagnosis of infections of osteoarticular prostheses modules integrating it both innovative imaging at molecular biology level, a system of intelligent organization of data and user interfaces and adaptive multidisciplinary while ensuring full traceability of diagnosis.
