This study evaluates the outcome of the application of a new, score‐based SA and PJI diagnostic algorithm, which includes the execution of molecular testing on synovial fluid.
Abstract
Pathogen identification is key in the treatment of septic arthritis (SA) and periprosthetic joint infections (PJI). This study evaluates the outcome of the application of a new, score‐based SA and PJI diagnostic algorithm, which includes the execution of molecular testing on synovial fluid.
