Musculoskeletal infection is a clinical problem with significant direct healthcare costs. The prevalence of infection after closed, elective surgery is frequently estimated to be less than 2%, but in severe injuries, posttraumatic infection rates have been reported as 10% or greater. Although clinical infections are found outside the realm of medical devices, it is clear that the enormous increase of infections associated with the use of implants presents a major challenge worldwide. This review summarizes recent advances in the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of musculoskeletal infections.
肌肉骨骼感染是一个具有重大直接医疗成本的临床问题。闭合性择期手术后感染的发生率通常估计不到 2%,但在严重损伤中,创伤后感染率报告为 10%或更高。尽管临床感染发生在医疗器械领域之外,但很明显,与植入物使用相关的感染大量增加是全球面临的一个重大挑战。本文综述了对肌肉骨骼感染的理解、诊断和治疗的最新进展。
