Prosthetic infection is a major concern in surgery. The global epidemiology is difficult to be defined and the incidence is generally underestimated due to the lack of surveillance. A better knowledge of prosthetic infections and a greater understanding of their pathophysiology and risk factors is necessary to implement perioperative measures to prevent this major complication.

摘要

A better knowledge of prosthetic infections and a greater understanding of their pathophysiology and risk factors is necessary to implement perioperative measures to prevent this major complication.
