| Core Tip |
No statistically significant differences in the serum concentration of RANK-ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) were found between aseptic loosening and periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) with a certain trend of lower concentrations in the PJI group. Nevertheless, a RANKL/OPG ratio > 60 ruled out PJI in all cases. In the differentiation between a stable and loose implant the parameters measured showed no significant difference, which let to the conclusion that the sole use of these parameters for differentiating PJI and aseptic loosening cannot be recommended. RANK and OPG may have utility as a conformation test but are not an effective screening parameter for the discrimination of PJI and AL. |
