Aims

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the infection-free outcome of patients underwent revision of total joint arthroplasty (TJA) for presumed aseptic causes, with positive intra-operative cultures.

Patients and Methods

A retrospective cohort study was assembled with 130 patients undergoing revision knee (21 cases) or hip arthroplasty (109 cases) for presumed aseptic causes. For all patients five to seven separate intra-operative cultures were obtained and prosthesis sonication was done. Patients were diagnosed with a previously unsuspected prosthetic joint infection (PJI) if two or more cultures were

positive or a positive prosthesis sonication. Data were reviewed for demographic details, preoperative laboratory results and culture results. The endpoint was infection-free implant survival at 24 months.
