recommendations! Published in 2017 at "International Orthopaedics"

DOI: 10.1007/s00264-017-3647-3

Abstract: BackgroundAlpha-defensin, a novel biomarker, has shown great potential for the accurate diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in recent years: many published studies have presented encouraging results. Nevertheless, the diagnostic accuracy of alpha-defensin is inconsistent… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00264-019-04297-y

Abstract: IntroductionThere is no gold standard for performing a two-stage exchange arthroplasty to treat periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). The use of spacers and the anchorage principles of the revision prosthesis remain controversial. Herein, we report the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00402-025-05888-8

Abstract: Synovial leukocyte cell count (LC) and polymorphonuclear percentage (PMN%) are key parameters in the diagnostic workup of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Despite ongoing debates regarding optimal thresholds—particularly for reliably excluding low-grade infections—no study has investigated… read more here.
