INFECTIONS IN ELBOW ARTHROPLASTY
Journal Title: Issues of Rehabilitation, Orthopaedics, Neurophysiology and Sport Promotion-IRONS - Year 2016, Vol 14, Issue 14
Abstract
SUMMARy In elbow arthroplasty, a special attention is attributed to postsurgical infections because many patients have predispositions like rheumatoid arthritis and consecutive immunosuppression. In cases of revision arthroplasty different strategies to eradicate the bacteria and to restore joint function are discussed. We aimed to expose detection methods of postsurgical infections including low-grade infections, therapy approaches and surgical procedures for the treatment of an infected elbow arthroplasty.
