Periprosthetic Hip Infections: the possible role of ultrasonography.
Ultrasonography, enhanced by Doppler imaging, is a valuable diagnostic modality for assessing periprosthetic joint infections of the hip. The presence of intra- and peri-articular tracts and joint effusion were the most consistent findings. Integrating ultra-sonographic findings with laboratory tests is crucial for the accurate and timely diagnosis of PJI, and further multicenter studies are required to standardize its use and improve its clinical applicability.
