Abstract

Prosthetic joint infections are a devastating complication of arthroplasty. Despite this, current culture techniques lack sensitivity and not standardized. We examined the inoculation of peri-prosthetic tissue specimens into blood culture bottles, demonstrating improved sensitivity compared to conventional methods. These findings influence patient care, allowing accurate diagnosis of infection.
