Infection and Local Trestment in Orthopedic Surgery
Bone infections involve enormous social, economic and human impact.
Despite improvements insurgical techniques, asepsis and prevention, the increas
ing use of surgery in orthopaedics and trauma means that the absolute number of
bone infections is progressively increasing in western countries.
Theworkoforthopaedicsurgeonsis increasingly assistedbyindustrialinnovation
designed to meet newrequirements and achieve what clinical and scientific evidence
indicates in terms of prevention and treatment of bone and joint infections.
In particular, new technologies in recent years, such as those allowing local treat
mentwithantibiotic-loadedcementsandpreformedspacers,havemadeitpossibleto
improve substantially the effectiveness of infection treatment in orthopaedics.
This book collects the scientific contributions of eminent European and Interna
tional scientists, which were presented during the International Congress organized
by Tecres Spa (Verona, Italy) and held in Verona at the “Palazzo della Gran Guardia”
(7–9 September 2006).
Specialists of surgery and medicine (orthopaedic, trauma and infection surgeons,
microbiologists and pharmacologists) from all over the world met to exchange the
latest information. This is a collection of their personal clinical experience in the
treatment of orthopaedic implant infections.
With the hope that this book may represent a useful tool for updating those who
dedicate themselves to the difficult art of treating osteo-articular infections, we wish
a good reading!
