Abstract
The prevalence of PJI as a cause of MoM hip arthroplasty failure was relatively high compared to other hip bearing combinations; however, the organisms responsible were similar. Histologically, a minority of aseptic MoM implant failures contained some NPs, but the MSIS criteria for the histologic diagnosis of PJI (>5 NPs/HPF) correctly identified all microbiologically confirmed cases of septic failure.
