Combined Orthopaedic and Infectious Disease Periprosthetic Joint Infection Clinic Enhances Arthroplasty Fellowship Training: A Survey From a Tertiary Center
Background
The rising incidence of periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) is linked to increasing utilization of total joint arthroplasty and higher rates of obesity, diabetes, and immunosuppression. Despite preoperative risk factor modification and perioperative antibiotic interventions, PJIs remain difficult to prevent and diagnose. Treatment typically requires surgery and prolonged antibiotics. A combined orthopaedics and infectious disease (OID) clinic has emerged as an effective model for managing PJIs, but its utility for trainee education remains underexplored.
Methods
In 2020, a combined OID clinic was established at the reporting institution, staffed by arthroplasty fellows and musculoskeletal infectious disease physicians. Fourteen past arthroplasty fellows who participated in the clinic from 2020 to 2024 were sent an anonymous survey consisting of 10 questions to evaluate how their experience influenced their development as clinicians and its relevance to their current practice.
Results
All 14 eligible past arthroplasty fellows responded to the anonymous survey. Most respondents (71%) were in academic practice, with others in hospital employment (21%) or private practice (7%). PJI cases comprised 0%-40% of their clinical load. A total of 85% of fellows reported that the multidisciplinary clinic approach prepared them for managing PJIs, and 93% felt this experience would be beneficial for future fellows. Respondents agreed that a half day clinic once per month was sufficient.
Conclusions
Arthroplasty fellows found the combined OID clinic valuable for managing PJI patients in their practice. Fellowship programs should consider incorporating such clinics to enhance training in PJI management.
期刊介绍:
Arthroplasty Today is a companion journal to the Journal of Arthroplasty. The journal Arthroplasty Today brings together the clinical and scientific foundations for joint replacement of the hip and knee in an open-access, online format. Arthroplasty Today solicits manuscripts of the highest quality from all areas of scientific endeavor that relate to joint replacement or the treatment of its complications, including those dealing with patient outcomes, economic and policy issues, prosthetic design, biomechanics, biomaterials, and biologic response to arthroplasty. The journal focuses on case reports. It is the purpose of Arthroplasty Today to present material to practicing orthopaedic surgeons that will keep them abreast of developments in the field, prove useful in the care of patients, and aid in understanding the scientific foundation of this subspecialty area of joint replacement. The international members of the Editorial Board provide a worldwide perspective for the journal''s area of interest. Their participation ensures that each issue of Arthroplasty Today provides the reader with timely, peer-reviewed articles of the highest quality.
