Figure 1 Graphical presentation.
A: The number of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) cases (blue color) vs non-infection cases (orange color) in each group within the observation period of 1 yr; B: The number of acute (blue color) vs chronic delayed PJI cases (orange color) in each group within the observation period of 1 yr. Staphylococci were the most frequent pathogens (S. aureus with higher prevalence in acute infections, coagulase-negative staphylococci with higher prevalence in chronic delayed infections – data not shown). PJI: Periprosthetic joint infection; ALBC: Antibiotic-loaded bone cement.
