Exciting Performance of Plasma Fibrinogen in Periprosthetic Joint Infection Diagnosis.

Objective: To test the significance of serum C-reactive protein (CRP), the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), the platelet count/mean platelet volume ratio (PC/MPV), plasma fibrinogen, and D-Dimer in periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) diagnosis.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 149 patients diagnosed from July 2016 to December 2019 with primary osteoarthritis (OA group, average age 63.18 years [range, 53-82 years] 18 males, 46 females), PJI (PJI group, average age 63.

Diagnostic Value of MRI Lamellated Hyperintense Synovitis in Periprosthetic Infection of Hip.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lamellated hyperintense synovitis and periprosthetic infection of hip arthroplasty and estimate its value in the diagnosis of infection after hip replacement.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 50 patients who underwent MRI from January 2016 to June 2019 after hip replacement was performed. The MRI scanning was performed with a 1.
