Abstract
As a result of the increasing numbers of joint replacement surgeries and other implant-associated procedures performed, the incidences of periprosthetic joint infections and osteomyelitis are on the rise. Antibiotic resistance to gram-positive species, which are mostly isolated from such infections, is a significant obstacle in clinical practice. Promising clinical outcomes have been reported with the use of novel antibiotics for patients with periprosthetic joint infections and osteomyelitis. Further research is necessary for the establishment of these novel antibiotic therapies in routine clinical practice. [Orthopedics. 2018; 41(6):323-328.].
