Prevention of Periprosthetic Joint Infection
Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a calamitous complication with high morbidity and substantial cost. The reported incidence is low but it is probably underestimated due to the difficulty in diagnosis. PJI has challenged the orthopaedic community for several years and despite all the advances in this field, it is still a real concern with immense impact on patients, and the healthcare system....
متن کاملIntra-articular versus serum C-reactive protein analysis in suspected periprosthetic knee joint infection.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the comparative diagnostic strength of C-reactive protein (CRP) values in synovial fluid and serum in patients with presumed periprosthetic joint infection. We collected 44 synovial fluid samples and 24 serum samples from 43 patients. Patients were judged to be uninfected or infected based on standardized criteria. Synovial and serum samples were obt...
متن کاملComparison of Leukocyte Esterase Testing of Synovial Fluid with Synovial Histology for the Diagnosis of Periprosthetic Joint Infection
BACKGROUND Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a complication of total joint arthroplasty (TJA). The leukocyte esterase (LE) strip test and histology are diagnostic methods for PJI. The aims of this study were to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the LE strip test and to compare it with histology in the diagnosis of PJI. MATERIAL AND METHODS Between January and December 2015, 93 ...
متن کاملC reactive protein and immunoglobulin G in synovial fluid and serum in joint disease.
C reactive protein (CRP) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) were measured in synovial fluid and serum of 72 patients (29 with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), 17 with osteoarthritis, 11 with crystal synovitis, seven with undifferentiated arthritis, and eight with seronegative arthritis). The synovial fluid:serum (SF:S) ratios were compared with those calculated from the SF:S ratios of transferrin, caerulopla...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Periprosthetic Joint infection: from Novel Synovial Fluid Biomarkers to Identification of the Etiological Agent
Joint replacement surgery is a success story in orthopaedic surgery which brought clear clinical and economical benefits. As the prevalence of total joint arthroplasty continues to rise worldwide, the incidence of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is expected to increase [1]. Infection of the prosthesis is one of the most worrisome complications and has an overwhelming impact on patients and...
