DOI: 10.1016/j.ijscr.2018.06.011
Abstract: Highlights • Implant hypersensitivity may manifest as a rare systemic dermatitis reaction.• Hypoallergenic implant revision is the gold standard in treating most hypersensitivity cases.• Delayed implant removal may be considered if its stability is not… read more here.

DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.4192337
Abstract: The biocompatibility and mechanical performance of biodegradable metals (e.g. magnesium, iron, and zinc-based alloys) in orthopaedic-targeted applications are contingent on limiting the rate of corrosion in vivo throughout the bone healing. Concurrently, the surgical procedure… read more here.

DOI: 10.2174/1574886317666220429081207
Abstract: Orthopaedic implant removal is considered a sterile procedure, but the current literature suggests it is associated with around a 20% Surgical Site Infection (SSI) rate. The use of antibiotic prophylaxis is still ambiguous and contentious.… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2023.1165017
Abstract: Orthopaedic implant-associated infections (OIAIs) due to Cutibacterium acnes can be difficult to diagnose. The aim of this pilot study was to determine if metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) can provide additional information to improve the diagnosis… read more here.
