What’s New in the Diagnosis of Periprosthetic Joint Infections: Focus on Synovial Fluid Biomarkers
Periprosthetic joint infections are some of the leading causes of revision prosthetic surgery, accounting for 25% of failed total knee replacements and 15% of failed total hip replacements. The search for a biomarker that, together with clinical and radiological findings, could improve the managemen...

description | Periprosthetic joint infections are some of the leading causes of revision prosthetic surgery, accounting for 25% of failed total knee replacements and 15% of failed total hip replacements. The search for a biomarker that, together with clinical and radiological findings, could improve the management of such patients is currently a significant challenge for orthopaedic surgeons. Synovial fluid is a viscous and mucinous substance produced by the synovium, a specialized connective tissue that lines diarthrodial joints. Synovial fluid is an ultrafiltrate of plasma but also contains proteins secreted from the surrounding tissues, including the articular cartilage and synovium. Therefore, synovial fluid represents a source of disease-related proteins that could be used as potential biomarkers in several articular diseases. Based on these findings, the study of synovial fluid has been gaining increasing importance in recent years. This review aims to assess the accuracy and the limitations of the most promising synovial fluid biomarkers—i.e., Alpha-Defensin, Leukocyte Esterase, C-Reactive Protein, Interleukin-6, Calprotectin, Presepsin and Neopterin—in the diagnosis of PJI. Special attention will be given to emerging synovial biomarkers, which could soon be important in diagnosing PJIs. |
