Serum and Synovial Fluid Interleukin-6 for the Diagnosis of Periprosthetic Joint Infection

Abstract A gold standard for diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) has not yet been established. The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of serum and synovial fluid interleukin (IL)-6 levels for PJI. The MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched for studies desc...
