The accurate diagnosis of deep infection in total joint arthroplasty is difficult. No single test on its own is entirely reliable. Frozen section histology has been used for the last two decades as an adjunct to diagnose infection with variable results. In this retrospective analysis, experience of the use of frozen section histology as a diagnostic tool in 45 cases of suspected infected total ...

متن کاملGram stain detection of infection during revision arthroplasty.
We reviewed 194 revision arthroplasties of the hip and knee performed over a ten-year period. The results of intraoperative Gram staining were available in 169 (87%). Thirty-two were found to be infected (11 hips and 21 knees) and 137 had no evidence of infection. Intraoperative Gram staining was negative in all 169 cases.

Mediastinoscopy is often performed as a sole procedure, with permanent pathology results guiding subsequent intervention. Our practice has been to perform mediastinoscopy followed by immediate surgical resection, as indicated, based on intraoperative...
