An infection can cause the joint to be painful or cause the implant to loosen, sometimes resulting in the need for revision surgery (Science Daily).Written by an author and editor team principally from Pennsylvania, USA, this practical guide offers advice on the management of surgical site infections following orthopaedic procedures.Divided into four sections, the book begins with an introduction to the basics of infection. The following sections discuss prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
