Zusammenfassung

Abstract Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of a commercially available dithiothreitol (DTT) kit for routine use in diagnosing periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) in comparison to conventional microbiological tissue specimens and sonication procedures in a maximal care hospital. Methods We applied the DTT system in 40 consecutive cases of revision arthroplasty (23 PJIs and 17 aseptic revisions), with an exchange or a removal of components. The hardware components were split between the DTT system and the conventional sonication procedure. At least three tissue biopsies and a joint f…
