Short summary
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality but can be difficult to diagnose. Our aim is to analyse common diagnostic tests, specifically joint aspiration culture performed for suspected PJI by a single practitioner. We suggest that hip aspiration culture performs similarly to less invasive tests to rule out infection, recommend caution in interpreting a positive culture and suggest that hip aspiration should be used only with other synovial tests.
