Fluoroscopy-guided aspiration of the acutely dislocated total hip arthroplasty: a feasible, high-yield, and safe procedure
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) infection can be evaluated with synovial fluid aspiration. Fluoroscopic-guided aspiration of the dislocated THA is feasible, high-yield, and safe. Targeting of the acetabular cup is recommended over the femoral prosthetic component. Acetabular cup targeting gives larger, spontaneous aspirates with lower fluoroscopy time.
