Plasma fibrinogen may predict persistent infection before reimplantation in two-stage exchange arthroplasty for periprosthetic hip infection

Abstract Background The diagnosis of persistent infection before reimplantation in two-stage exchange arthroplasty for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains challenging. Currently, several studies suggested coagulation-related markers, such as D-dimer and fibrinogen, may be promising in diagn...
