Özet

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is currently one of the three main causes of readmission and the most frequent cause of revision following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). It remains the most challenging complication in adult joint reconstruction due to the difficulty in diagnosis and treatment. This review article provides an update on the most recent developments related to the field which include the introduction of a novel biomarker for diagnosis of PJI, a summary of the international consensus meeting on PJI, and other developments.
