Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Osteoprotegerin (OPG; official gene symbol: TNFRSF11B) is considered a negative regulator of bone resorption via inhibition of osteoclast differentiation. Further, OPG expression has been detected in Prosthetic Joint Infection (PJI) a serious complication limiting the overall outcome of total joint arthroplasty (TJA). As OPG may be a candidate molecule for PJI pathogenesis, we investigated...
