Summary: | Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) is a commonly performed procedure to treat degenerative conditions of the shoulder. With its growing utilization, techniques to reliably diagnose and treat prosthetic joint infection (PJI) have become increasingly important. In this review we outline the current research and prevention methods of prosthetic joint infection in rTSA. This includes preoperative considerations, intraoperative, and postoperative treatment algorithms.
There is currently no established standardized protocol for preoperative infection prevention or post operative management. However, recent studies have identified risk factors for infection, as well as successful prevention techniques that can be implemented to minimize infection risk. Although there is no standardized protocol currently utilized to diagnose and treat shoulder PJI, we outline a potential set of preventative measures and postoperative management strategies that clinicians can use to properly diagnose and treat patients with this difficult condition. |
