DOI: 10.1007/s00132-021-04083-y
Abstract: Short-stemmed total hip arthroplasty (THA) is well established and gaining popularity in Germany. The perception that short stems may predispose to primary instability in the femur has resulted in a more thorough follow-up of younger… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00264-019-04297-y
Abstract: IntroductionThere is no gold standard for performing a two-stage exchange arthroplasty to treat periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). The use of spacers and the anchorage principles of the revision prosthesis remain controversial. Herein, we report the… read more here.

Biofilm properties in relation to treatment outcome in patients with first-time periprosthetic hip or knee joint infection
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Journal of Orthopaedic Translation"
DOI: 10.1016/j.jot.2021.05.008
Abstract: Background Periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) are challenging complications following arthroplasty. Staphylococci are a frequent cause of PJI and known biofilm producers. Biofilm formation decreases antimicrobial susceptibility, thereby challenging favourable treatment outcomes. The aims of this… read more here.
