Several fields of orthopedics have concluded benefits from volume thresholds. We postulate that we could similarly optimize periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) treatment by creating a regional referral center, concentrating expertise and resources. Here, we review our reasoning and our first-year experience of a PJI referral center in the United States.
骨科的几个领域已从手术量阈值中得出了益处。我们推测,通过设立一个区域转诊中心,集中专业知识和资源,我们同样可以优化人工关节周围感染(PJI)的治疗。在此,我们回顾我们在美国一家PJI转诊中心的推理过程和第一年的经验。
