Epidemiology, Diagnosis and Treatment of Orthopaedic Infections

骨科手术极大地改善了患者的生活质量。随着人口老龄化，需要关节置换和其他骨骼和关节手术的患者数量将呈指数级增长。关节置换术的感染是这种手术的致命并发症。对这些感染的研究仍在不断发展。本研究计划旨在研究骨和关节感染的临床特征，探索优化诊断和改善患者治疗和预后的方法。

Orthopaedic surgery has led to significant improvements in patient's quality of life. With an ageing population, the number of patients requiring joint replacement and other bone and joint surgery will increase exponentially. Infection of the joint replacement is a devastating complication of this surgery. Research into these infections is still evolving. This research proposal aims to examine the clinical features of bone and joint infections, to explore ways to optimise diagnosis and improve treatment and outcomes for patients.
