Arthroplasty failure is a major complication of joint replacement surgery. It can be caused by
periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) or non-infectious etiologies, and often requires surgical …

Diagnosing chronic periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) requires clinical suspicion in
combination with both serological and synovial fluid tests, the results of which are generally …

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 …

Background Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following total joint arthroplasty is a serious
complication that causes severe morbidity and adds a major financial burden to the …

Aims The aim of this study was to further evaluate the accuracy of ten promising synovial
biomarkers (bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI), lactoferrin (LTF), neutrophil …

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after joint replacement surgery is a severe complication
associated with high morbidity and increased treatment costs. More than 25% of joint …

Background Serum markers, such as erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive
protein (CRP) and D-dimer, are currently used by clinicians and orthopedic surgeons in …

Aims To investigate the optimal thresholds and diagnostic efficacy of commonly used
serological and synovial fluid detection indexes for diagnosing periprosthetic joint infection …

Methods A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data was performed using
