Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio and Lymphocyte-Monocyte Ratio correlate with Chronic Prosthetic Joint Infection but are not useful markers for diagnosis.

Purpose: To investigate reported correlations between Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte (NLR) and Lymphocyte-to-Monocyte (LMR) ratios and their value in diagnosis of chronic prosthetic joint infection (PJI) in a large cohort of patients from a single specialist hospital.

Methods: Diagnostic aspirations of 362 patients under investigation for PJI were identified. Of the included patients 185 patients received a final diagnosis of PJI and 177 were classed as aseptic.

Outcome of surgically treated acetabular fractures: risk factors for postoperative complications and for early conversion to total hip arthroplasty.

Introduction: The gold standard of Acetabular fractures treatment is open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Our purpose is to assess the short- to medium-term outcomes and complications of surgically treated acetabular fractures. We analysed factors influencing clinical outcomes, incidence of complications and predictors of conversion in total hip arthroplasty (THA).
