Preface

Bone infections involve enormous social, economic and human impact.

Despite improvements in surgical techniques, asepsis and prevention, the increas-

ing use of surgery in orthopaedics and trauma means that the absolute number of

bone infections is progressively increasing in western countries.

The work of orthopaedic surgeons is increasingly assisted by industrial innovation

designed to meet new requirements and achieve what clinical and scientific evidence

indicates in terms of prevention and treatment of bone and joint infections.

In particular, new technologies in recent years, such as those allowing local treat-

ment with antibiotic-loaded cements and preformed spacers, have made it possible to

improve substantially the effectiveness of infection treatment in orthopaedics.

This book collects the scientific contributions of eminent European and Interna-

tional scientists, which were presented during the International Congress organized

by Tecres Spa (Verona, Italy) and held in Verona at the “Palazzo della Gran Guardia”

(7 – 9 September 2006).

Specialists of surgery and medicine (orthopaedic, trauma and infection surgeons,

microbiologists and pharmacologists) from all over the world met to exchange the

latest information. This is a collection of their personal clinical experience in the

treatment of orthopaedic implant infections.

With the hope that this book may represent a useful tool for updating those who

dedicate themselves to the difficult art of treating osteo-articular infections, we wish

a good reading!
