Prosthetic Joint Infection Diagnosis
Definition of Prosthetic Hip and Knee Infection
January 2010
We validated the vortexing/sonication technique by performing a prospective clinical trial of patients undergoing total hip or knee revision or resection for aseptic failure or presumed infection at our institution from August 2003 - December 2005. Those patients whose components were contaminated in the operating room, components did not fit in the container, in whom <2 tissues were cultured or who underwent partial revision were excluded from the study.
