Four Pillars of Musculoskeletal Infection Care

EBJIC addresses the most complex clinical scenarios facing orthopaedic surgeons today, delivering step-by-step diagnostic, surgical, and antimicrobial algorithms.

FRI

Fracture-Related Infection

Comprehensive diagnostic and surgical pathways for infection following trauma, internal fixation, and infected non-unions.

Clinical Instruction Scope:

  • Consensus diagnostic criteria and confirmatory microbiology
  • Hardware retention vs. removal vs. revision fixation
  • Local antimicrobial delivery (antibiotic beads, spacers, nails)
  • Management of segmental bone defects and dead-space management
Clinical Objective:

Systematic approach to achieving union while eradicating bone infection.

PBJI

Pediatric Bone & Joint Infection

Nuanced clinical protocols for acute hematogenous osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, and subacute infection in growing skeletons.

Clinical Instruction Scope:

  • Emergency evaluation and imaging in the irritable limping child
  • Surgical decompression techniques that preserve the physis
  • Age-specific pathogen identification (Kingella, CA-MRSA, S. aureus)
  • Sequential parenteral-to-oral antimicrobial step-down regimens
Clinical Objective:

Preventing permanent growth arrest and chondrolysis through prompt intervention.

DFI

Diabetic Foot Infection

Multidisciplinary limb-preservation protocols addressing vascular status, neuropathy, deep tissue abscesses, and osteomyelitis.

Clinical Instruction Scope:

  • IWGDF infection classification and probe-to-bone validation
  • Epidemiology and multidisciplinary assessment of infected Charcot foot and ankle
  • Risk-factor evaluation, imaging, laboratory workup, and infection diagnosis
  • Antimicrobial therapy, immobilisation, off-loading, and pre-reconstruction optimisation
  • Debridement, limb stabilisation, soft-tissue reconstruction, and recurrence management
Clinical Objective:

Maximizing limb preservation through early multidisciplinary intervention.

PJI

Prosthetic Joint Infection

Evidence-based algorithms for hip and knee arthroplasty infections, from early acute presentations to refractory chronic biofilm infections.

Clinical Instruction Scope:

  • Synovial fluid analysis, alpha-defensin, and next-generation sequencing
  • DAIR indications, surgical thoroughness, and mobile bearing exchange
  • Single-stage vs. Two-stage exchange protocols and spacer design
  • Salvage procedures: arthrodesis, resection arthroplasty, and amputation
Clinical Objective:

Confidence in formulating patient-specific eradication and reconstruction strategies.

Convenor's Welcome Address

Advancing Care, Defeating Infection Together

“Infection remains one of the most devastating and humbling challenges in modern orthopaedic surgery. EBJIC was founded on a singular conviction: that defeating infection requires rigorous evidence, multidisciplinary consensus, and step-by-step surgical discipline.”

Dear Colleagues and Esteemed Doctors, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 2nd Egyptian Bone & Joint Infection Course (EBJIC 2026). Following the success and participant engagement of our inaugural edition in 2025, this year’s curriculum brings an even deeper focus on practical decision-making in the operating room and the multidisciplinary clinic.

Bone and joint infections cannot be tackled with generic antibiotic prescriptions or casual surgical debridement. They demand a deep understanding of pathogen biofilms, reliable microbiological sampling, dead-space management, and meticulous revision techniques. In EBJIC 2026, we examine the four critical pillars: Fracture-Related Infection (FRI), Prosthetic Joint Infection (PJI), Pediatric Bone & Joint Infection, and Diabetic Foot Infection.

We have curated an intensive three-day scientific agenda pairing case-based debates with evidence-based instructional lectures led by our regional organizing committee and distinguished international guest faculty. I warmly invite you to join us in Cairo at the Triumph Plaza Hotel this December as we advance patient care and defeat musculoskeletal infection.
