Introduction: Although a relatively rare complication, the incidence and prevalence of
prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is certainly rising. This is mainly due to the number of …

Objective The current diagnostic criteria for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) are diverse and
controversial, leading to delayed diagnosis. This study aimed to evaluate and unify their …

Aims The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the absolute synovial
polymorphonuclear neutrophil cell (PMN) count for the diagnosis or exclusion of …

Background We evaluated the reliability of intraoperative assessment of leukocyte esterase
(LE) in synovial fluid samples from patients undergoing reimplantation following implant …

Background Very little has been published about the diagnostic performance of MRI in total
hip arthroplasty (THA) infection. Purpose To determine the diagnostic performance of …

Background: Infections remains the most feared complication in total hip arthroplasty (THA).
New strategies of PJI prevention includes coating of conventional implants. Defensive …

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication after arthroplasty. Prompt
establishment of an infection diagnosis is critical but can be very challenging at present. In …

The analysis of synovial fluid is a crucial step in the diagnosis of prosthetic joint infections
(PJIs). Recently several studies illustrated the efficacy of synovial calprotectin in supporting …

Failed hip arthroplasty constitutes a high economic burden, with a higher mortality and
complication rate than primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). The widespread use of hip …

Introduction: The diagnosis of prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) can be difficult in the chronic
stage and is based on clinical and paraclinical evidence. A minimally invasive serological …
