Analysis of the Etiopathogenesis of Postoperative Complications in Orthopedic Patients Using Knee and Hip Arthroplasty as an Example

Relevance and Rationale Due to the widespread development of high-tech medical care in traumatology and orthopedics for patients with severe forms of hip and knee osteoarthritis and aseptic necrosis, and the increasing number of knee and hip arthroplasties, there is a proportional increase in serious complications after arthroplasty, the most serious and costly of which is the development of peri-implant infection. Today, the prevalence of peri-implant infection is close to epidemic.

Often, the causes of this life-threatening complication are not fully understood. Currently, no large-scale prospective or retrospective study of the causes of peri-implant infection has been conducted in Russia or in Moscow. The pathogenesis of peri-implant infection remains u
