Abstract

Implantable devices have improved the lives of many patients, but implant-associated infection remains a serious complication with significant morbidity and mortality. In recent years, the role of biofilm in the development of these infections has become increasingly recognized, and strategies to combat biofilm are beginning to proliferate in the literature. This review will explore how implant-associated infections have historically been treated, where the research currently stands, and the future trends of infection control.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
