A total of 223 consecutive total hip or total knee arthroplasties were evaluated for
periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) using leukocyte esterase reagent (LER) strips. Fifty-two …

Background: The diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection poses many challenges, one of
which is the difficulty of isolating the infecting organism. Recently, a sophisticated modality …

The diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a considerable challenge. This study
examines the quantification of C-reactive protein (CRP) in synovial fluid for diagnosis of PJI …

Background Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) is a general marker of inflammation, and recent
studies suggest that measurement of CRP in synovial fluid may be a more accurate method …

Despite a battery of tests available for diagnosing periprosthetic joint infection, as yet, no
gold standard has been identified. Our purpose was to measure inflammatory proteins in …
