摘要
Background Diagnosing periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in patients with a periprosthetic fracture can be challenging due to concerns regarding the reliability of commonly used serum and synovial fluid markers. This study aimed at determining the diagnostic performance of serum and synovial fluid markers for diagnosing PJI in patients with a periprosthetic fracture of a total joint arthroplasty. Methods A total of 144 consecutive patients were included: (1) 41 patients with concomitant PJI and periprosthetic fracture and (2) 103 patients with periprosthetic fracture alone. Serum markers erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP), and synovial markers white blood cell (WBC) count and polymorphonuclear percentage were assessed. Results ESR demonstrated 87% sensitivity and 48% specificity at the Musculoskeletal Infection Society threshold, area under the curve (AUC) of 0.74, and optimal threshold of 45.5 mm/h (76% sensitivity, 68% specificity). CRP showed 94% sensitivity and 40% specificity, AUC of 0.68 with optimal threshold of 16.7 mg/L (84% sensitivity, 51% specificity). Synovial WBC count demonstrated 87% sensitivity and 78% specificity, AUC of 0.90 with optimal threshold of 4552 cells/μL (86% sensitivity, 85% specificity). Polymorphonuclear percentage showed 79% sensitivity and 63% specificity, AUC of 0.70 with optimal threshold of 79.5% (74% sensitivity, 63% specificity). The AUC of all combined markers was 0.90 with 84% sensitivity and 79% specificity. Conclusion The diagnostic utility of the serum and synovial markers for diagnosing PJI was lower in the setting of concomitant periprosthetic fracture compared to PJI alone. Using the Musculoskeletal Infection Society thresholds, ESR, CRP, and WBC count showed high sensitivity, yet low specificity, thus higher thresholds and utilizing all serum and synovial markers in combination should be considered.
