Abstract.
Periprosthetic purulent infection is one of the most challenging complications after arthroplasty of the large joints. The diagnosis of it still seems to be a serious problem in the clinical practice of orthopedists. In a number of cases, constant pain in the area of the prosthetic joint is a single subjective symptom. To date, the available diagnostic methods are not highly specific and sensitive. The reliable tests include only intraoperative sampling of soft tissues for the histological and bacteriological analyses. However, the treatment results can be significantly improved in case of the early diagnosis of purulent complications development after the large joints arthroplasty. The article presents the review of a number of widely used methods for diagnosing purulent complications after joint arthroplasty with a description of their clinical potentialities.
Key words: arthroplasty, periprosthetic infection, knee joint, diagnosis, D-lactate.
