View in browser

We are pleased to present the latest edition of EFORT Open Reviews: In Focus… a series showcasing curated collections of recent articles exploring key topics in orthopaedics and traumatology.


This edition focuses on Musculoskeletal Infections – a complex and evolving challenge in orthopaedic practice. This collection brings together current evidence spanning spinal and paediatric infections, infection prevention, and the diagnosis and management of periprosthetic joint infection.

Exploring advances in diagnosis:  


  • Spinal and paediatric infections  
  • Biomarkers for periprosthetic joint infection  
  • Culture-negative infections  
  • Limitations of culture-based diagnosis

And addressing prevention and management:


  • Systemic and local antibiotic prophylaxis  
  • Surgical site infection prevention  
  • Single- vs two-stage revision strategies  
  • Outcomes and burden of prosthetic joint infection

Together, these articles provide a comprehensive overview of current evidence to support the prevention, diagnosis and management of musculoskeletal infection in orthopaedic practice.
