Prosthetic joint infection (PJI), also referred to as periprosthetic infection, is defined as infection involving the joint prosthesis and adjacent tissue.
ICD-10-CM M00. 80 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0): 548 Septic arthritis with mcc. 549 Septic arthritis with cc.
There are three subcategories for reporting this condition using ICD-10-CM, including M86. 0 Acute hematogenous osteomyelitis, M86. 1 Other acute osteomyelitis, and M86. 2 Sub-acute osteomyelitis.
The management of prosthetic joint infection involves both surgery and antimicrobial therapy. The classic surgical options include one-stage or two-stage implant exchange, resection arthroplasty (with or without arthrodesis), or débridement with implant retention. Treatment failure occurs in 11 to 35% of patients.
Causes and Diagnoses of Prosthetic Joint Infections Most prosthetic joint infections are the result of bacteria—often Staphylococcus aureus—present in the body or introduced during the surgery itself or subsequent procedures.
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is one of the most devastating and costly complications following total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Diagnosis and management of PJI is challenging for surgeons. There is no “gold standard” for diagnosis of PJI, making distinction between septic and aseptic failures difficult.
In general, the longer the infection has been present, the harder it is to cure without removing the implant. Late infections (those that occur months to years after the joint replacement surgery) and those infections that have been present for longer periods of time almost always require a staged surgery.
Prosthesis-related infection is a serious complication for patients after orthopedic joint replacement, which is currently difficult to treat with antibiotic therapy. Consequently, in most cases, removal of the infected prosthesis is the only solution to cure the infection.
If a knee replacement infection goes deeper than the skin and tissue around a joint, it may need to be treated surgically. Surgical treatment options include: Debridement: This is a surgical washout of the joint. Any contaminated soft tissue is removed, and the artificial joint is cleaned.
