Has the time come for regional periprosthetic joint infection centers in the United States? A first-year experience
<p>Several fields of orthopedics have concluded benefits from volume thresholds. We postulate that we could similarly optimize periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) treatment by creating a regional referral center, concentrating expertise and resources. Here, we review our reasoning and our fir...

| description | <p>Several fields of orthopedics have concluded benefits
from volume thresholds. We postulate that we could similarly optimize periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) treatment by creating a
regional referral center, concentrating expertise and resources. Here, we
review our reasoning and our first-year experience of a PJI referral center
in the United States.</p> |
