Abstract:
Periprosthetic joint infection ( PJI), defined as infection involving the joint prosthesis and adjacent tissue, is one of the most serious complications associated with joint arthroplasty.Its accurate diagnosis is still a challenge confronted by arthroplasty surgeons.In this article, we summarize the latest progress on the serological , synovial fluid, microbiologic, histopathological and radiological diagnosis of PJI to provide new concepts for arthroplasty surgeons.
