Background: Synovial fluid d-lactate may be useful for diagnosing periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) as this biomarker is exclusively produced by bacteria. We evaluated the performance of synovial fluid d-lactate using 2 definition criteria and determined its optimal cutoff value for diagnosing PJI.
Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing joint aspiration before prosthesis revision were prospectively included.
