Prosthetic Joint Infection Diagnosis

Shoulder Arthroplasty Infection

January 2010

Patients were classified as having prosthetic shoulder infection if at least one of the following was present:

• visible purulence surrounding the prosthesis, or
• acute inflammation on histopathologic examination of permanent tissue sections, or
• a sinus tract communicating with the prosthesis. 
  

Aseptic failure was defined as failure that did not meet these criteria.
