Active rheumatoid arthritis in a mouse model is not an independent risk factor for periprosthetic joint infection.
<h4>Introduction</h4>Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) represents a devastating complication of total joint arthroplasty associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Literature suggests a possible higher incidence of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in patients with rheuma...

Whole blood samples were collected to quantify systemic IgG levels via ELISA. Ex vivo respiratory burst function was measured via dihydrorhodamine assay.

In vivo, no significant difference in bacterial bioluminescence between groups was found at all postoperative time points. CFU counts of both the implant and the peri-implant tissue were not significantly different between groups (p = 0.82 and 0.80, respectively).<h4>Conclusion</h4>This study demonstrated no significant difference in S. aureus infectious burden between mice with CIA and control mice.
