Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains one of the most complex and challenging complications following arthroplasty. Since no single diagnostic test offers 100% accuracy, a combination of methods is often required to improve diagnostic confidence.

This online workshop introduces a novel and promising approach: the graphic representation of cell count analysis from synovial aspirates. This emerging technique enhances diagnostic precision in both early and late-stage PJI cases.

Participants will gain valuable insights into how synovial fluid cell count data can support the identification and differentiation of various types of periprosthetic infections.

b) Comment on the fact that the platelet count may be underestimated and request a repeat.
Numerous fibrin clots and platelet clumps were noted particularly in the tail of the smear. Due to the nature of such features the fibrin clots will be dragged to the tail of the film during smearing.
Small clots may be present in the sample. A fresh sample needs to be requested to confirm the platelet count.

It's quiz time with ! What is the best course of action when seeing numerous features as below in the tail of the smear with the following results?

a) Ignore the features as they are in the tail of the smear.
b) Manually check the sample for clots. Comment on the fact that the platelet count may be underestimated and request a repeat.
c) Query if Microfilaria is present.

Coagulation disorders affect the coagulation cascade*, leading to either excessive or inadequate clotting. These disorders typically involve a deficiency in at least one clotting factor. Common examples include von Willebrand disease, hemophilia, and vitamin K deficiency.​
​
HORIBA provides a comprehensive range of coagulation factor-deficient plasmas for coagulation factor deficiency testing. These plasmas cover both the extrinsic and intrinsic coagulation cascade pathways and contain less than 1% residual factor activity while maintaining normal levels of other coagulation factors👉 https://bit.ly/45qAsVa
​
*Coagulation cascade: the series of steps that occur during the formation of a blood clot after injury by activating a cascade of proteins called clotting factors.
