Background In recent years, attention has focused on novel diagnostic methods as alpha defensin and multiplex PCR (mPCR) for diagnosing periprosthetic joint infection. In addition, two stage revision is the most widely used surgical approach to manage periprosthetic hip infection (PHI). The aim of the first study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of qualitative (lateral flow) and quantitative (ELISA) alpha defensin test in patients with prosthetic failure and to compare both test methods among each other. In the second study, the performance of mPCR for genotypical resistance detection in microorganisms isolated from patients with implant-related infections was analysed. In the third study, the intra- and postoperative complications of...
