Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the association between tranexamic acid (TXA) use during primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) and primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and the risk of developing periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after these procedures. METHODS A systematic review was carried out from inception to October 17, 2022. There were six studies that were ultimately included in the meta-analysis. The association between the development of PJI and TXA was analyzed using odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) and estimates of risk difference (RD). Subgroup analysis was performed to evaluate only studies reporting out to 90 days of follow-up versus greater than 90 days of follow-up. RESULTS Among 2,098,469 arthroplasties, TXA utilization was associated with an overall lower risk of PJI (OR = 0.63 [95% CI 0.42 to 0.96], P < 0.001) and a 0.4% lower incidence of PJI (RD = -0.0038, 95% CI [-0.005 to -0.002], P < 0.001). When sub-grouping the studies according to length of follow-up, TXA was associated with a lower risk of PJI (OR = 0.43 [95% CI 0.35 to 0.53], P < 0.001) and a 1% lower incidence of PJI (RD = -0.0095 [95% CI -0.013 to -0.005], P < 0.001) in patients followed for more than 90 days. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis demonstrates that TXA use is associated with a reduced risk of PJI, with our RD analysis identifying an approximately 0.4% reduction in PJI rates with TXA use. These findings provide even more data to support the routine use of TXA during primary THA and primary TKA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) poses a growing challenge for the aging population, especially in the hip and knee joints, contributing significantly to disability and societal costs. Exploring the integration of wearable technology, this study addresses the limitations of traditional rehabilitation assessments in capturing real-world experiences and dynamic variations. Specifically, it focuses on continuously monitoring physical activity in hip and knee OA patients using automated unsupervised evaluations within the rehabilitation process. We analyzed data from 1144 patients who used a mobile health application after surgery; the activity data were collected using the Garmin Vivofit 4. Several parameters, such as the total number of steps per day, the peak 6-minute consecutive cadence (P6MC) and peak 1-minute cadence (P1M), were computed and analyzed on a daily basis. The results indicated that cadence-based measurements can effectively, and earlier, differ among patients with hip and knee conditions, as well as in the recovery process. Comparisons based on recovery status and type of surgery reveal distinctive trajectories, emphasizing the effectiveness of P6MC and P1M in detecting variations earlier than total steps per day. Furthermore, cadence-based measurements showed a lower inter-day variability (40%) compared to the total number of steps per day (80%). Automated assessments, including P1M and P6MC, offer nuanced insights into the patients' dynamic activity profiles.

Abstract
Up to 25% of patients undergoing knee arthroplasty report chronic pain postoperatively. Early identification of high-risk individuals can enhance pain management strategies. This retrospective analysis investigates the incidence of severe postoperative pain and its associated risk factors among 740 patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty. Utilizing a digital application, patients provided comprehensive data encompassing pre- and postoperative pain levels, analgesic usage, and completed a chronic pain risk assessment. Participants were categorized into two distinct groups based on their pain status at three months post-op: Group D+ (14%), characterized by pain scores exceeding 40/100 and/or the utilization of level 2 or 3 analgesics, and Group D- (86%), who did not meet these criteria. An analysis of pain trajectories within these groups revealed a non-linear progression, with specific patterns emerging amongst those predisposed to chronic pain. Notably, patients with a trajectory towards chronic pain exhibited a plateau in pain intensity approximately three weeks post-surgery. Significant preoperative risk factors were identified, including elevated initial pain levels, the presence of comorbidities, pain in other body areas, heightened joint sensitivity and stiffness. This study highlights the utility of digital platforms in enhancing patient care, particularly through the continuous monitoring of pain. Such an approach facilitates the early identification of potential complications and enables timely interventions.

Abstract
The treatment of prosthetic joint infections (PJI) regularly involves a two-stage surgical strategy. The second stage is generally performed when the surgeon estimates that the infection is under control based on either the treatment length or clinical and biological data. We have raised the question whether standardization of C-reactive protein (CRP) and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) values could be either indicative of infection control or predictive of infection recurrence. This was an analytical retrospective and monocentric cross-sectional observational study. The CRP and NLR values were recorded prior to the second-stage surgery in a sample of 100 patients who underwent a two-stage revision arthroplasty following a PJI, and these values were correlated with the absence of infectious recurrence within a 2-year follow-up. The statistical analysis consisted of evaluating the diagnostic validity of each marker, first individually, and then in combination. CRP was shown associated with a 68% sensitivity, 40% specificity, 27% positive predictive value (PPV), and 79% negative predictive value (NPV). The ROC curve was 51.1%. The NLR displayed a 12% sensitivity, 89% specificity, 27% PPV, and 75% NPV. The ROC curve was 47.9%. The combination of the two markers did not fundamentally improve the statistical results, with only a 43% concordance of the two markers, 27% sensitivity, 84% specificity, 37% PPV, and 77% NPV. Measuring CRP and NLR values, either individually or in combination, before the second-stage revision arthroplasty did not turn out to be predictive of either infection recurrence or cure within two years of follow-up. Therefore, an absolute test is still lacking, which would enable us to predict without failure the absence of control or the control of a PJI before or after second-stage revision. Level of evidence: Level III, retrospective cross-sectional study.

Abstract
Introduction Prosthetic Joint Infection (PJI) are catastrophic complications of joint replacement. Debridement, implant retention, and antibiotic therapy (DAIR) is the usual strategy in acute infections but fails in 45% of MRSA infections. We describe the development of a model of infected arthroplasty in rabbits, treated with debridement and a course of vancomycin with clinically relevant dosage. Materials and methods A total of 15 rabbits were assigned to three groups: vancomycin pharmacokinetics (A), infection (B), and DAIR (C). All groups received a tibial arthroplasty using a Ti-6Al-4V implant. Groups B and C were infected per-operatively with a 5.5 log10 MRSA inoculum. After 1 week, groups C infected knees were surgically debrided. Groups A and C received 1 week of vancomycin. Pharmacokinetic profiles were obtained in group A following 1st and 5th injections. Animals were euthanized 2 weeks after the arthroplasty. Implants and tissue samples were processed for bacterial counts and histology. Results Average vancomycin AUC0–12 h were 213.0 mg*h/L (1st injection) and 207.8 mg*h/L (5th injection), reaching clinical targets. All inoculated animals were infected. CFUs were reproducible in groups B. A sharp decrease in CFU was observed in groups C. Serum markers and leukocytes counts increased significantly in infected groups. Conclusion We developed a reproducible rabbit model of PJI treated with DAIR, using vancomycin at clinically relevant concentrations.

Abstract
Biofilms are an important medical burden, notably for patients with orthopaedic device-related infections. When polymicrobial, these infections are more lethal and recalcitrant. Inter-kingdom biofilm infections are poorly understood and challenging to treat. Here, an in vitro three-species model including Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans was developed, to represent part of the diversity observed in orthopaedic infections or other clinical contexts. The importance of fungal hyphae for biofilm formation and virulence factor expression was explored. Two protocols were set up, allowing, or not, for hyphal formation. Culturable cells and biomass were characterised in both models, and biofilms were imaged in bright-field, confocal and electron microscopes. The expression of genes related to virulence, adhesion, exopolysaccharide synthesis and stress response was analysed in early-stage and mature biofilms. It was found that biofilms enriched in hyphae had larger biomass and showed higher expression levels of genes related to bacterial virulence or exopolysaccharides synthesis.

Abstract
Debridement, antibiotic, irrigation and retention of the implant (DAIR) is an attractive treatment for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). The purpose of this study is to determine predictive factors of failure. We reviewed all DAIR procedures for hip PJI performed between 2002-2017 (n=69). Data recorded included all factors correlated with treatment failure. KLIC score, McPherson adapted score were analyzed. Infection eradication for early PJI (< 4 weeks) was achieved in 68% of patients and was correlated with treatment success (p=0.01). KLIC score (p=0.036), McPherson adapted score (p=0.01), CRP (p=0.025) and late PJI (p=0.031) were significantly predictive of failure treatment. We have established an equation in order to predict failure treatment that has to be validated. DAIR is an effective treatment for early PJI. KLIC score and McPherson adapted score are two ways to predict outcome of a DAIR procedure and should help making the decision in PJI treatment.

Abstract
Background: Prosthetic joint infections (PJI) are difficult to treat complications of joint arthroplasty. Debridement with implant retention is a common treatment strategy and frequently involves the use of pulsed lavage (PL). However, PL effects on biofilms and antibiotic activity have been scarcely studied in-vitro. We report the effects of PL, vancomycin or flucloxacillin used independently or in combination against Staphylococcus aureus biofilms. Methods: Biofilms of 3 methicillin-susceptible (MSSA) and of 3 methicillin-resistant (MRSA) S. aureus were grown on Ti6Al4V coupons in TGN (TSB + 1%glucose + 2%NaCl). After 24 h, PL was applied to half of the samples (50 mL saline from 5 cm). Samples were either reincubated for 24 h in TGN or TGN + flucloxacillin or vancomycin. Analyses included CFUs counts, biomass assays or fluorescence microscopy. Results: PL transiently reduced bacterial counts by 3-4 Log10 CFU/coupon, but bacterial regrowth to baseline levels was seen after 24 h. At 20 mg/L, flucloxacillin reduced both the CFU counts (3 Log10 CFU/coupon) and biomass (-70%) in one MSSA only, while vancomycin had no effects against MRSA. PL combined with a 24 h reincubation with vancomycin or flucloxacillin at 20 mg/L was synergistic (-5 to 6.5 Log10 CFU/coupon; 81-100% biomass reduction). Fluorescence microscopy confirmed that PL removed most of the biofilm and that subsequent antibiotic treatment partially killed bacteria. Conclusions: While PL only transiently reduces the bacterial load and antibiotics at clinically relevant concentrations show no or limited activity on biofilms, their combination is synergistic against MRSA and MSSA biofilms. These results highlight the need for thorough PL before antibiotic administration in PJI.

Abstract
Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) joint infection is an uncommon (0,3-1,7%) (20) but devastating complication after THA. While mostly caused by Gram-positive bacteria, with staphylococci and streptococci accounting for up to 76% of cases (21), orthopaedic surgeons are sometimes faced with atypical germs such as fungi or mycobacteria. We present a case of THA joint infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MT) in a patient without a previous history of MT infection. A literature review was performed, and the treatment is discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the alpha defensin qualitative detection (ADLF) sensitivity and specificity as compared with 3 standard classifications in the diagnostic management of chronic prosthetic joint infections. MATERIALS AND METHODS A multicenter cohort of 136 patients with a painful arthroplasty was classified into either infected or noninfected according to the Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) score, Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) score, European Bone and Joint Infection Society (EBJIS) score. The sensitivity and specificity of the ADLF test were calculated for each score. Spearman's correlations between all scores were then analyzed, and multiple logistic regression was applied to identify independent variables strongly connected to the prosthetic joint infection probability. RESULTS The EBJIS score was positive in 68 patients, IDSA score in 50 patients, MSIS score in 41 patients, and ADLF in 40 patients. The ADLF sensitivity was 87.8% compared with MSIS, 70% compared with IDSA, and 55.8% compared with EBJIS. The ADLF specificity was in the range of 94%-97%. A good correlation was observed between synovial fluid cultures and ADLF (r = 0.73). Low to excellent correlations were recorded between ADLF and the EBJIS (r = 0.58), IDSA (r = 0.68), and MSIS (r = 0.84) scores. The synovial fluid's white blood cell count was proven to be the biological test that most influenced the probability of a positive culture (P value: .005). DISCUSSION The ADLF sensitivity was variable, whereas its specificity was excellent. The EBJIS score results significantly differed from those obtained via cultures, which possibly explains the ADLF low sensitivity compared with that of the EBJIS score.
