Sponsor

Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust

Enrollment

244 participants

Start Date

Mar 20, 2024

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the diagnostic accuracy of percutaneous aspiration against open biopsy, using microbiological and histological methods, for the detection of shoulder and elbow periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). This is to establish the utility of pre-operative joint aspiration in the treatment pathway for shoulder and elbow PJI.
