Abstract
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is one of the most dreaded
complications after total joint arthroplasty [1]. There is no gold
standard for diagnosing PJI, hence, a clinician who encounters a
suspected PJI case, ought to use a combination of tests. All of which,
besides their expense can be invasive and even this can’t provide
100% accuracy [2]. Several biomarkers have been introduced that
are potentially reliable tools for diagnosing PJI [3]. In this article,
we aimed to review the current diagnostic measures of PJI with a
special focus on molecular biomarkers.
