NCT03717090

Brief Summary

This is a prospective cohort study. All patients presenting for periprosthetic joint infection and requiring debridement only or resection arthroplasty will be eligible. The synovial joint fluid will be sampled before the arthrotomy at the operation room. The purpose of this study will be to evaluate that 1) the concordance of organism identification by the direct identification of MALTI-TOF MS versus routine identification of MALTI-TOF MS and conventional cultures and 2) the timing of preliminary strain identification by the direct identification of MALTI-TOF MS, routine identification of MALTI-TOF MS and conventional cultures in patients with periprosthetic joint infection.

Study Population

The synovial joint fluid will be sampled before the arthrotomy at the operation room. Aspirates will be collected under an aseptic technique with an 18-Fr sterile syringe with a minimum amount of 14 cc. The sample was partitioned between two set of aerobic and anaerobic BCBs (at least 2.5cc for each bottle), wound culture tube (2cc), synovial fluid analysis (2cc). In instances where there is insufficient fluid to send all 3 modalities (less than 14 mL), patients will be excluded from the current investigation. Samples will be delivered to the clinical microbiology laboratory within a 2-hour period.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients not meeting MSIS criteria
  • Patients undergoing aseptic revision
  • Insufficient synovial fluid amount for analysis.
