Culture-negative periprosthetic joint infection (CN-PJI) remains a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. In this systematic review and meta-analysis of 27 studies (1399 patients), pooled success was 83.6 %, failure was 17.2 %, and mortality was 2.4 %. Outcomes were better with exchange arthroplasty than debridement, antimicrobials, and implant retention (DAIR). Antibiotic regimens were heterogeneous. Overall, CN-PJI may have favorable outcomes, but standardized prospective studies are needed.

Native vertebral osteomyelitis, a spinal bone infection, is difficult to diagnose, and delays can worsen outcomes. This review examines how traditional laboratory tests and newer genetic techniques can be integrated to improve identification of the responsible microorganism. We show that combining these approaches within the diagnostic pathway may increase accuracy and support earlier diagnosis, enabling more timely and informed treatment decisions.

In Lyme-endemic regions, Lyme disease should be considered in culture-negative periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Diagnosis relies on microbial DNA detection, particularly Borrelia-targeted polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on synovial fluid or tissue. We present 10 cases highlighting the value of PCR for early recognition of this pathogen, which is not detectable by conventional culture media. Surgical debridement remains the standard of care, though several cases were successfully treated medically, an observation that merits further investigation.

The rising rate of spinal surgeries has led to more postoperative infections, yet no standardized diagnostic criteria exist. We analyzed over 100 studies and found considerable variation in definitions. Our findings underscore the need for a unified diagnostic framework that integrates clinical signs, laboratory data, and imaging to enhance diagnostic accuracy, support clinical decision-making, and improve consistency in future research.

We studied a serious double infection affecting the heart and spine, often seen in older or immunocompromised patients. By analyzing systematic data from the literature, we found that this condition leads to high death rates, especially when caused by the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. Our work highlights the urgent need for higher-quality studies and better coordinated care. These findings may help guide future treatment strategies and improve outcomes for affected patients.

Our 10-year multicenter study examines the epidemiology, presentation, management, and outcomes of elbow native joint septic arthritis, a rare condition with risks like reoperation and mortality. Common symptoms included pain and swelling. Synovial fluid white blood cell counts were often low, with monosodium urate crystals also noted. Staphylococcus aureus was the main pathogen, and 72.2 % of patients underwent open debridement.

In recent years, there has been an increase in scientific production on native vertebral osteomyelitis (NVO), a condition whose incidence is rising and that can be highly detrimental to health. However, there is no consensus on the definition of this syndrome in the medical community. Therefore, we propose a new framework to synthesize the diagnostic tools at our disposal. This can help to advance research further and guide patient care more effectively.

This survey study describes the composition of US-based orthopedic infectious diseases (Ortho ID) teams across more than a dozen large academic medical centers, finding many institutions have dedicated Ortho ID clinics or inpatient services. These teams are highly valued by both ID clinicians and surgeons for engendering strong multidisciplinary relationships and improving patient outcomes.

The role of long-term antibiotics after debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) for periprosthetic joint infections is unclear. Patients with eventual cessation of antibiotics had similar outcomes to those who remained on chronic antibiotic suppression (failure rate of 11 % for both groups). This study importantly highlights a potential opportunity to prevent unnecessary antibiotic use and spare patients from the risk of side effects and development of resistant organisms.

Our study investigated olecranon septic bursitis treatment, focusing on postsurgical antibiotic use. Analyzing 22 years of Mayo Clinic data, we found that smoking and not administering antibiotics following surgery led to poorer outcomes. A 3-week antibiotic course following surgery was most effective. Our findings suggest that a subset of patients may benefit from longer courses of antibiotics; however, further research is needed to confirm these findings.

This work investigates periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) caused by rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) following total joint arthroplasty. Eight patients were identified as part of a retrospective review. The isolated RGM species included Mycobacterium abscessus (three cases), M. fortuitum (three cases), and one case each of M. immunogenum and M. mageritense. We provide novel insights into the successful treatment of PJIs caused by newly identified RGM (M. immunogenum and M. mageritense).

Physicians have difficulties interpreting the isolation of Cutibacterium acnes in the spine tissue. Here we provide the experience of our center about this topic, adding data that can help physicians in their choices. Our results show that some clinical, radiological, and microbiological features can help distinguish patients to treat or not to treat. Moreover, treatment with parenteral beta-lactams appears to be effective, but targeted oral therapy could be a valid alternative.

We present the first published case of bilateral extensor tenosynovitis caused by Coxiella burnetii. C. burnetii should be considered in patients with inflammatory osteoarticular disease, including tenosynovitis, when conventional cultures are negative especially in elderly, male, or immunocompromised patients with exposure to animals.

Despite a growing interest in oral therapy for native vertebral osteomyelitis, there is no evidence to recommend oral or parenteral therapy. From our single-center experience combined with a systematic review and a meta-analysis of the available literature, there is insufficient evidence to conclude that there is a difference in proportion of failure and relapse between an early switch to oral antibiotics and prolonged parenteral therapy. Further studies are needed to increase the evidence.

In this study, we prospectively enrolled patients with a suspected diagnosis of native vertebral osteomyelitis (NVO) undergoing image-guided needle aspiration of the intervertebral disc. Based on this pilot study, a high manual cell count or a high neutrophilic predominance from the disc aspirate was associated with the diagnosis of NVO.

This paper describes five cases of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) caused by Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC). Infections occurred in both immune competent and immunosuppressed patients. Interestingly, using the Musculoskeletal Infection Society diagnostic criteria for PJI may miss some cases of MAC PJI. Treatment courses and outcomes are described.

The yearly incidence of native vertebral osteomyelitis (NVO) is increasing. In 2013 the prevalence of NVO in the USA was 5.4 cases per 100 000. Delays in the diagnosis of NVO remain common, in part due to the insidious nature of the infection and its related symptoms. The mean time between the onset of symptoms to diagnosis of NVO is 45.5 d. We herein review available and novel diagnostic modalities at the disposal of healthcare providers to reach an accurate and timely diagnosis of NVO.

This paper describes an ultrasound guided technique for aspiration of hip arthroplasties that has not been published. We believe this technique is important because it yields useful fluid 99 % of the time with low contamination rate (2 %). Ultrasound, although common in Europe, is gaining popularity in the United States. Besides teaching a useful technique, this paper also discusses findings of lavage-obtained samples which are rarely discussed in other aspiration papers.

This was written to outline Mayo Clinic guidelines on prophylactic antibiotics prior to invasive procedures in patients with prosthetic joints. There is an emphasis on maintaining optimal oral health to reduce the risk of infection to minimize the patient’s risk of PJI.
