Diagnosis of Chronic Infection at Total Hip Arthroplasty Revision Is a Question of Definition

Sebastian Philipp Boelch et al.

Summary: The study found that the definition of PJI significantly affects the prevalence of diagnosed PJIs at THA revision. Different PJI definitions resulted in different rates of PJI prevalence. Synovial fluid white blood cell count is a reliable means to rule out PJI.

Plasma D-dimer Does Not Anticipate the Fate of Reimplantation in Two-stage Exchange Arthroplasty for Periprosthetic Joint Infection: A Preliminary Investigation

Tejbir S. Pannu et al.

Summary: In this study, plasma D-dimer levels alone showed poor accuracy and were not predictive of infection control after reimplantation in patients undergoing two-stage exchange arthroplasty. The combination of D-dimer with ESR and CRP may be more useful for confirming PJI diagnosis.

Validation of the Alpha Defensin Lateral Flow Test for Periprosthetic Joint Infection

Carl Deirmengian et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated the solid diagnostic performance of the alpha defensin test in diagnosing PJI and resulted in FDA authorization for the lateral-flow test as an aid in the clinical diagnosis of PJI.
