Effects of staphylococcal infection and aseptic inflammation on bone mass and biomechanical properties in a rabbit model

ConclusionsInflammatory osteolysis caused by a high concentration of coagulase-positive staphylococci is significantly associated with low bone mass and impaired biomechanical properties.The translational potential of this articleIt is necessary to obtain an overall assessment of the bone mass and biomechanical properties before revision surgery, especially when S. aureus infection is involved. In addition, a better understanding of these two parameters might help develop a reasonable treatment regimen and reduce the risk of adverse events after revision surgery.
