Lower synovial leucocyte count and polymorphonuclear percentage reliably differentiate periprosthetic joint infection after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty
Aim of the study, research question: There are no validated criteria for the diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). Particularly, the threshold of synovial fluid leukocyte count for detecting PJI is unknown. This study aims to evaluate appropriate [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
