Biopsychosocial needs and complementary treatments for patients undergoing management for periprosthetic joint infection following hip or knee arthroplasty: a systematic review

The results show a clear need for interventions on top of the primary surgical treatment for patients diagnosed with PJI, especially for psychological and physical support. Interventions targeting needs were described in only two articles (10%) in the current literature. Future studies should explore patient-centered approaches and integrate psychological and physical management into PJI treatment pathways to improve outcomes.
