The impact of PCR in the management of prosthetic joint infections

The impact of PCR in the management of prosthetic joint infections
The impact of PCR in the management of prosthetic joint infections
An accurate diagnosis of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains a challenging clinical problem and is essential for the success of treatment regardless of the treatment option chosen by patients and surgeons. In recent years, PCR for the diagnosis of PJI has received much attention. Here, we review the impact of common PCR-based techniques on identifying causative organisms, antibiotic management and economics of PJI.

Abstract

An accurate diagnosis of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains a challenging clinical problem and is essential for the success of treatment regardless of the treatment option chosen by patients and surgeons. In recent years, PCR for the diagnosis of PJI has received much attention. Here, we review the impact of common PCR-based techniques on identifying causative organisms, antibiotic management and economics of PJI.
