What other markers should be combined with D-dimer for improved accuracy in detecting complications after total joint arthroplasty, and what are the recommended thresholds for interpreting D-dimer levels?
Combining D-dimer with markers like CRP, ESR, and α-defensin enhances diagnostic precision for complications after total joint arthroplasty, although consistent and specific D-dimer thresholds remain elusive. These approaches support a multifaceted diagnostic strategy rather than reliance on a single biomarker.
