Full Description
This book, written by members of the SICOT Infections Committee, presents the state-of-the-art in the diagnosis and management of bone and joint infections - an extremely relevant condition with a still high incidence.
The topics covered include epidemiology, aetiology, pathogenesis, bacterial resistance and management of long-term effects. Readers will further gain knowledge of pediatric, post-traumatic and post-surgical bone infections with particular attention devoted to periprosthetic infections (PJI), megaprostheses and other complications.
Realized under the auspices of SICOT this volume critically analyzes different views and controversies. As such, it provides an invaluable reference tool for all orthopedic surgeons willing to deepen their knowledge of this challenging and fast-evolving field.
