| Abstract |
Endoprosthetic replacement is one of the most successful operations in current medicine. As the implantation of knee prostheses increases, the number of periprosthetic infections is also rising. In case of painful or early loosening of the prosthesis an infection should be excluded by joint aspiration. Retention of the prosthesis with change of mobile parts is possible only in acute infections (< 4 weeks after surgery or duration of symptoms of <3 weeks in the case of hematogenous infection), if the prosthesis is stable, the soft tissue is intact, and no difficult-to-treat pathogens were found. In other cases a one- or two-stage prosthesis exchange should be performed. In a two-stage exchange, a short interval of 2-3 weeks is possible, if biofilm-active treatment is available. Rifampin should be used targeted (after isolation of the pathogen) and only in combination with another efficient antibiotic. In this article the current management concepts of periprosthetic infection of the knee are discussed. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 January 2016.
All research outputs
#22,758,309
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Die Orthopädie
#276
of 678 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#341,774
of 399,776 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Die Orthopädie
#6
of 9 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 678 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 1.5. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 399,776 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 9 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 3 of them.
