Current Research

An IRB protocol to study Journavx (suzetrigine), a non-opioid pain medicine, in patients with hip fractures has been submitted.

Previous Studies

Periprosthetic Joint Infection Causative Organisms and Their Infecting and Antibiotic Susceptibility Patterns
PI, David Maish, MD

The aim of this study is to establish infection patterns in patients who were diagnosed with periprosthetic joint infections after arthroplasty, and to identify antimicrobial susceptibility and the evolution of resistance that may have occurred over time from 2008 to 2020 in a rural health system.

Diagnostic Accuracy of the New Definition of Periprosthetic Joint Infection Versus 2014 Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) Criteria
PI, David Maish, MD

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a serious complication following total joint arthroplasty. The new 2018 scoring system for diagnosing PJI demonstrated a higher sensitivity and specificity than 2014 Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) criteria. The purpose of this study is to compare the accuracy of the 2018 criteria to the 2014 MSIS criteria for the diagnosis of periprosthetic hip/knee joint infection.
