Failure often begets further failure. It is critical that revision surgery is undertaken in an appropriate setting by teams with the right expertise. #RevisionSurgery #Orthopedics #TotalHipArthroplasty boneandjoint.org.uk/Article/…

The EBJIS framework is pragmatic and generalizable across specialist and non-specialist centres, and can support shared decision-making and the standardization of surgery in patients with PJI. #Infection #Arthroplasty #Surgery ow.ly/nuTL50ZQvcU
The European Bone & Joint Infection Society recommendations for debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) in periprosthetic joint infection (PJI).11 The three-level recommendation allocates patients to either the green group, with good indications for DAIR, the orange group with indications which, if not addressed, may carry a higher risk of failure, and the red group, where DAIR would not be recommended.

Dual mobility use is likely to continue to increase, but we must bear in mind that there's no ‘free lunch’. It's important to look at all-cause revision or failure, and to be mindful of this data when considering individual patients. #Ortho #THA #Hip boneandjoint.org.uk/Article/…
