Aim

The aim of our study was to evaluate culture-negative prosthetic joint infections in patients who were pre-operatively evaluated as aseptic failure.

Method

For the purpose of the study we included patients planed for revision surgery for presumed aseptic failure. Intraoperatively acquired samples of periprosthetic tissue and explanted prosthesis were microbiologicaly evaluated using standard microbiologic methods and sonication. If prosthetic joint infection was discovered, additional therapy was introduced.
