Prevention, Diagnostic and Antimicrobial Treatment of Periprosthetic Joint Infection—Proven Meets Innovative, Complementary Approaches

Dear Colleagues,

We are thrilled to announce our Special Issue focusing on "Prevention, Diagnostics and Antimicrobial Treatments of Periprosthetic Joint Infections—Proven Meets Innovative, Complementary Approaches". Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains a significant challenge in orthopedic surgery, necessitating comprehensive strategies for prevention, reliable diagnostic methods and effective antimicrobial treatments. Our aim in this collection is to bring together current research findings on proven and novel approaches to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of PJIs and to combine them with expert knowledge on various aspects of PJI management.

This Special Issue serves as an essential resource for orthopedic surgeons, infectious disease specialists, microbiologists, and healthcare professionals committed to addressing the complexities of periprosthetic joint infections and enhancing patient care.
