Diagnostics of shoulder periprosthetic joint infections: a global survey
The majority of those who responded to the survey use at least 9 different tests to diagnose shoulder periprosthetic joint infections. Respondents who perform fewer revisions take more cultures, and are less likely to rely solely on these results, compared to surgeons who perform more revisions. There are several intercontinental differences in the use of diagnostic tests (within Europe and beyond).
