Analysis shows microbiological methods improve diagnostic accuracy in periprosthetic joint infections, indicating new approaches may be necessary.

Microbiological cultures showed low sensitivity for detecting periprosthetic joint infections.
PCR increased diagnostic accuracy by 7.5% for low-virulence infections identified in patients undergoing arthroplasty.
Two groups of patients showed different prognoses based on microbiological findings and laboratory results.
The study involved 173 patients aged 27 to 82 with aseptic loosening, analyzing biopsy samples and aspirates.

Линник et al. (2025) studied this question.
