Synovial Fluid Cell Counts Remain Stable for 72 Hours Regardless of Storage Temperature: Implications for PJI Diagnosis.

Synovial fluid WBC and PMN% remain stable for up to 72 hours regardless of storage temperature. These findings challenge the assumption that immediate analysis is required and support greater flexibility in clinical workflows, particularly in institutions without immediate on-site laboratory availability.

Abstract

Synovial fluid WBC and PMN% remain stable for up to 72 hours regardless of storage temperature. These findings challenge the assumption that immediate analysis is required and support greater flexibility in clinical workflows, particularly in institutions without immediate on-site laboratory availability.
