The aim of this study was to establish the diagnostic accuracy
of culture of joint aspirate with and without saline injection-reaspiration. This is a retrospective analysis of 580 hip and knee aspirations
in patients who were deemed to have a moderate to high risk of infection,
and who subsequently proceeded to revision arthroplasty over a period
of 12 years. It was carried out at a large quaternary referral centre
where preoperative aspiration is routine.Aims
