A systematic scoping review conducted by researchers at Ningbo No.6 Hospital examined the therapeutic effects of surgical procedures for fungal periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following hip arthroplasty. The study analyzed 33 articles encompassing 80 patients with fungal PJI and found that the overall treatment success rate was 71.1%. Candida albicans was the most frequently isolated fungus, and the success rate was significantly lower in cases with bacterial co-infection. The study also compared the success rates of different surgical procedures and identified bacterial co-infection and surgical option as significant risk factors for treatment failure. The researchers recommend further studies to establish optimal treatment for fungal PJI following hip arthroplasty. [Extracted from the article] |
