| dc.description.abstract | Abstract: This study aims at evaluating gender, age range and seasonal differences in patients who developed articular infection after undergoing joint prosthesis in our clinic. This study is a retrospective screening of advanced articular arthrosis patients who had undergone total joint arthroplasty of the upper and lower extremities between 2009 and 2016. Of 504 patients who had been treated with total joint replacement, our study includes 468 patients we could follow up or contact by phone and who had been applied 559 primary or revision total knee arthroplasty. The mean age of these patients was 58.9 (ranging from 41 to 74). We detected infection in 22 (3.9%) total joint arthroplasty patients. Of these 14 (63.63%) were females and 8 (36.36) were males. There was no statistically significant difference between infection rates in terms of seasonal distribution nor gender or age range. In the light of our findings, we concluded that gender, age range and seasonal differences have no effect on infection rates in total joint replacement cases. | en_US |
