Development of an evidence-based diagnostic algorithm for infection in patients with transcutaneous osseointegration following amputation

Conclusions: This seminal investigation to develop a preoperative diagnostic algorithm for peri-TOFA infection suggests that the clinical examination remains paramount. Further evaluation of a wider spectrum of clinical, laboratory, and imaging data, consistently and routinely collected with prospective data techniques in larger cohorts of patients, is necessary to create a robust predictive algorithm.PMID:38600998 | PMC:PMC11002918 | DOI:10.5194/jbji-9-49-2024
