Next generation sequencing for pathogen detection in periprosthetic joint infections
1 Apr 2021
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) represent one of the most catastrophic complications following total joint arthroplasty (TJA). The lack of standardized diagnostic tests and protocols for PJI is a challenge for arthroplasty surgeons. Next generation sequencing (NGS) is an innovative diagnostic tool that can sequence microbial deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) from a synovial fluid sample: all DNA present...
