This study found that culturing explants in addition to tissue cultures increased the sensitivity for detecting Cutibacterium in revision shoulder arthroplasty. Explants had a higher culture positivity rate and bacterial density compared to adjacent tissue specimens. Including the results of explant cultures led to an additional 14% of cases meeting the criteria for infection treatment.
Background: Culturing of deep tissues obtained at revision arthroplasty for Cutibacterium is a key component of diagnosing a periprosthetic infection. The value of culturing explanted components has not been well described. This study sought to answer the following questions: (1) How does the culture positivity of explant cultures compare with that of deep tissue cultures? (2) How often are explant cultures positive when tissue cultures are not, and vice versa? (3) How does the bacterial density in explant cultures compare with that in tissue cultures? Methods: A total of 106 anatomic arthroplasties revised over a 7-year period were included. Explant (humeral head, humeral stem, and glenoid) and tissue (collar membrane, humeral canal tissue, and periglenoid tissue) specimens were sent for semiquantitative Cutibacterium culture. We compared culture positivity and bacterial density when cultures of an explant and tissue adjacent to the implant were both available. Results: Explants had positive cultures at a higher rate than adjacent tissue specimens for most anatomic sites. Of the shoulders that had Cutibacterium growth, a higher proportion of explants were culture positive when tissue samples were negative (23%-43%) than vice versa (0%-21%). The Cutibacterium density was higher in explants than in tissues. Considering only the results of tissue samples, 16% of the shoulders met our threshold for infection treatment (> 2 positive cultures); however, with the inclusion of the results for explant cultures, additional 14% of cases -a total of 30% -met the criteria for infection treatment. Conclusions: In this group of patients, culturing explants in addition to tissue cultures increased the sensitivity for detecting Cutibacterium in revision shoulder arthroplasty.
