The Future of Periprosthetic Joint Infections

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

We have highlighted the complexity of periprosthetic joint infections in the previous chapters, specifically the difficulty in preventing, diagnosing, and managing these troublesome complications. The future of periprosthetic joint infections may at first appear bleak. The number of arthroplasty procedures is growing, parallel with an aging population, and if the incidence of infections remains constant, the number of patients suffering will also increase.
