Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
A. Compare the two techniques in terms of bacterial species identified.
B. Compare the diagnostic capabilities (sensitivity and specificity) of the two sample processing techniques depending on the type of analyzed samples (soft tissue, bone tissue) (subgroup analysis).
C. Compare the diagnostic capabilities (sensitivity and specificity) of the two sample processing techniques depending on the type of joint (subgroup analysis).
D. Compare the diagnostic capabilities (sensitivity and specificity) of the two sample processing techniques depending on the type of implanted materials (prosthesis versus other equipment) (subgroup analysis).
E. Develop a culture collection of bacteria isolated from infection osteo-articular protheses.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Per-op biopsy around material
Patients included in this study require biopsies for suspicion of infected osteo-articular materials (implants, protheses, nails, screw, plates).
Interventions:
* Biological sampling grinding
* Biological sampling with standard procedures
Biological sampling grinding
One half of the biological material collected during the intervetion (according to standard procedures) will be ground using the Ultra Turrax technique before proceeding with culturing.
Biological sampling with standard procedures
One half of the biological material collected during the intervetion (according to standard procedures) will be treated according to standard techniques before proceeding with culturing.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* The patient is cared for in the operating theater because of a suspicion of an osteo-articular infection involving any type of material (protheses, screws, plates) and requiring bacteriological sampling
* The patient has not taken any antibiotics within the past 15 days
Exclusion Criteria
* The patient is in an exclusion period determined by a previous study
* The patient is under judicial protection
* It is impossible to correctly inform the patient
* The patient is pregnant, parturient, or breastfeeding
* The subject presents with an osteo-articulaire infection without material
* Systematic samplings from reversals of aseptic prostheses
* Second intervention for the same patient
