Abstract
Individual and combined synovial fluid cytokine analysis were both more effective than routine perioperative testing, such as serum erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein, in the diagnosis of PJI of the shoulder. Once validated, combined synovial fluid cytokine analysis could be used as a predictive tool to determine the probability of PJI in patients undergoing revision shoulder arthroplasty and better guide treatment.
