lymphocytic vasculitis associated lesion (ALVAL).21 Thigh pain may be associated with a loose femoral component; however, persistent thigh pain with no radiographic evidence of loosening has been described in 12% to 41% of patients with press-fit implants Page 268and is caused by a modulus mismatch between

B(1):18-25. Pathogenesis and microbiology The development of bacterial biofilms is thought to play an essential role in the pathogenesis of PJI.19,20 Foreign bodies increase the risk for chronic bacterial infection by more than 100,000-fold, and, as such, TJA implants

cell receptors.4,19 Others have examined the role of the two X chromosomes in females. Multiple theories have been discussed, including skewed X chromosome inactivation or the reactivation of inactivated X chromosome causing overexpression as causes of increased prevalence of ADs in females.20-22 Certain subgroups of females have

-1 agonists on preoperative weight loss and postoperative outcomes will hopefully clarify the long-term effects of these medications on patients undergoing TJA. Malnutrition Malnutrition is an area of increasing study across all areas of orthopedic surgery and elective TJA in particular.48 The WHO defines malnutrition as “deficiencies, excesses

If infection is present, it is imperative to collaborate with the infectious disease team regarding appropriate postoperative antibiotic treatment. Preoperative aspiration is not indicated in cases where the suspicion
