Perioperative Testing for Joint Infection in Patients Undergoing Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty
TL;DR: A synovial fluid cell count of >3000 white blood cells/mL was the most predictive perioperative testing modality in this study for determining the presence of periprosthetic infection when combined with an elevated preoperative erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein level in patients undergoing revision total hip arthroplasty.
