Filter by:The aim of this study is to find markers that could differentiate infectious and inflammatory arthritis. The investigators want to find markers by differential analysis by compare synovial fluids of septic and inflammatory arthritis. The investigators will use for this analysis, proteomics, cytokine dosage and monocyte typing by flow cytometry analysis. The investigators will use one marker or a score with biological and clinical data to discriminate arthritis of infectious and inflammatory etiology.
The aim of this trial is to study the interest of ultrasonography among patients with septic arthritis. Currently, ultrasonography is useful for detecting small fluid effusions, for examining otherwise inaccessible joints, such as the hip and for helping the joint aspiration. Accurate assessment of disease activity and joint damage in septic arthritis is important for monitoring treatment efficiency and for prediction of the outcome of the disease. Nowadays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides better resolution than radiography or tomography for the detection of joint effusion and for differentiation between bone and soft tissue infectious. The sensibility is reported to be nearly 100% with a specificity of more than 75%. However, MRI is expensive and not rapidly accessible. Therefore, ultrasonography, a non invasive, painless, inexpensive, and non radiating exam can be used to assess the presence and extent of inflammation, destruction, and tissue response. The objective is to describe, using ultrasonography, the abnormalities joint structure influenced the septic arthritis evolution and prognosis. The investigators hope, at the end of this study, to evaluate ultrasonography interest in septic arthritis and to establish ultrasonography prognosis factors to predict treatment efficiency and functional outcome.
The purposes of this study are: 1. To determine whether procalcitonin level at admission of pediatric patients with bacterial infections can be used as a marker for prediction of defervescence and hospitalization length 2. To examine the kinetics of procalcitonin in pediatric patients with bacterial infections and persistent fever
This post market outcome study will look at the therapeutic results of the Salto Talaris Anatomic ankle prosthesis. The study population will consist of patients who will undergo an ankle arthroplasty procedure with a Salto Talaris ankle implant. An analysis will be conducted of the results, complications and revisions of this prosthesis based on the etiology for which the ankle arthroplasty was performed.
