“…Levine and Evans [10] studied 34 patients, 25 with infected PJIs and nine without infection. Synovial fluid in blood culture flasks was positive in 92% of infections, tissue biopsies in 77%, and swabs in 76%, with a sensitivity of 92%, 46%, and 64% respectively.…”

“…They identified more pathogens (62 vs 51) and fewer contaminants (1 vs 11) using blood culture flasks than culturing on agar plates [8]. One previous study comparing SF grown in blood culture vials with tissue and swabs in patients with PJI concluded SF grown in vials had greater sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy than the other two methods [10]. That study, however, included a low number of patients (24, with nine being uninfected) and the authors did not differentiate between acute and chronic PJI.…”

“…Therefore, it is necessary to improve diagnostic techniques in order to achieve a correct final diagnosis that may help surgeons not only to decide the best operative technique, but also to gain insight into the pathogenesis of joint prosthesis loosening. Up to now, there are no tests with high sensitivity and specificity in order to establish the correct preoperative diagnosis of prosthesis loosening, 7 ) have demonstrated that many preoperative aseptic loosening were indeed septic. In these patients, our results showed that intraoperative histology had a low sensitivity (50%).…”

“…A diagnostic gain was reported not only for joint aspirate fluids but also for periprosthetic tissues from several single-center studies without preliminary beadmill processing (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16).…”
