Bacteriophage therapy as an innovative strategy for the treatment of Periprosthetic Joint Infection: a systematic review

202414 citationsOpen accessMinia University

Abstract

In the treatment of PJI following hip and knee arthroplasty, bacteriophages, whether used alone or in combination as cocktail therapy, have shown therapeutic potential. However, thorough preoperative evaluation is essential, and appropriate bacteriophage types and treatment regimens must be selected based on bacteriological evidence. Future large-scale, randomized controlled, and prospective trials are necessary to validate the efficacy and safety of this therapy.
