Analysis of Prosthetic Joint Infections, Risk Factors for Treatment Failure and Effect of Teicoplanin in Treatment: A Single-Center, Retrospective, Observational Study
Hb, Hct, and CRP levels could help to predict the treatment response in the preoperative period, and in the postoperative follow-up, CRP could predict the treatment response earlier. Although one-stage surgeries seem practical, the patient's best interests are paramount, and two-stage revisions should be selected whenever needed. Finally, teicoplanin, a practical once-daily, well-tolerated antibiotic, was associated with high treatment success rates in Gram-positive and culture-negative PJIs.
