Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Qualitative agreement (Positive, Intermediate, or Negative) between the semi-quantitative electrochemical LE test and Roche Chemstrip® LE test (Negative, Trace, 1+, or 2+)
Within one hour of fluid aspiration
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Correlation of leukocyte esterase and synovial white blood cell count
Within 30 days of surgery
Study Arms (2)
Synovial fluid testing with semi-quantitative leukocyte esterase test strip
Using a drop of synovial fluid, sample will be analyzed via the point-of-care device to measure amount of leukocyte esterase in the sample
Synovial fluid testing with Roche Chemstrip
Using a drop of synovial fluid, sample will be analyzed via a urine test-strip to measure amount of leukocyte esterase in the sample
Interventions
Electrochemical assay to detect level of leukocyte esterase in sample
Eligibility Criteria
Subjects undergoing planned aseptic revision surgery to replace part or all of their hip or knee implant or subjects undergoing planned revision for infection
You may qualify if:
- Age greater than 18 years
- Willing and able to sign the informed consent document
- Subjects presenting with presumed aseptic failure of a prosthetic joint and expected to undergo revision arthroplasty, or subjects presenting with presumed PJI and expected to undergo either DAIR or radical implant resection, and subjects being investigated for PJI having joint aspiration outside of the operating room who may or may not require surgical intervention.
You may not qualify if:
- Subjects with known active crystalline deposition disease (e.g. gout)
- Subjects with adverse local tissue reaction (ALTR) as a result of corrosion of components or metal-on-metal bearing surface in the hip
- Subjects with active inflammatory arthropathy (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis)
- Subjects undergoing a second-stage re-implantation procedure for PJI
- Subjects in which standard of care assessments, at a minimum serology (ESR and CRP) and synovial fluid analysis (synovial WBC count, neutrophil percentage, and culture), cannot be performed.
- Subjects in whom there is an insufficient amount of synovial fluid to perform the required investigational tests.
