An osteoarticular infection ( OAI ) is an infection that affects bones, joints, or implants such as joint prostheses. These infections are common after surgery but can also occur following serious trauma. Although they are not very frequent in France, with approximately 2,000 to 4,000 new cases per year, they are very serious and can have significant consequences for the function and, rarely, the life of patients.
The center is associated with the centers of Lille, Amiens and Rouen (CRIOAC G4 group) coordinated by the Lille-Tourcoing team around Doctor Eric Senneville (infectiology) and Professor Henri Migaud (surgery).
