history

In summary, Mrs Smith is a 73-year-old retired right-handed headmistress who presents with several years history of intermittent shoulder pain. In the past year she has experienced increasing pain and stiffness of this shoulder. She denies any specific history of trauma. She has difficulties with activities of daily living particularly brushing her teeth, washing her face, etc. My provisional/working diagnosis is of glenohumeral osteoarthritis and I would like to examine the shoulder to confirm this.

Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) 2018 criteria for prosthetic joint infections

Major criteria (diagnosis can be made when [1] major criteria exist)


1.sinus tract communicating with prosthesis, or


2. pathogen isolated by culture from 2 separate tissue/fluid samples from the affected joint




Minor criteria (preoperative diagnosis)


The below scores are added together to determine:


≥6 Infected


2-5 Inconclusive


0-1 Not Infected




Serum


1.Elevated CRP (>10mg/L) or D-dimer (>860ng/mL) - 2 points


2. Elevated ESR (>30mm/h) - 1 point




Synovial


1. elevated synovial WBC (>3,000 cells/µl) or LE - 3 points


2. Positive alpha-defensin - 3 points


3. elevated synovial PMN (>80%) - 2 points


4. Elevated synovial CRP (>6.9mg/L) - 1 point




Inconclusive (inconclusive preop score or dry tap)


1. Preop score


2. Positive histology (>5 PMN per hpf in 5 hpf at x400 magnification (intraoperative frozen section of periprostehtic tissue) - 3 points


3. Purulence in affected joint - 3 points


4. Single positive culture - 2 points

Bone Cement

•Poortensile strength


•Moderate shear strength


•Strong in compression


•Brittle


•Notch-sensitive


•Young’s modulus between that of cortical and cancellous bone


•Young’s modulus much less than orthopaedic metals


•Viscoelastic


Undergoescreep


Undergoes stress relaxation
