Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is one of the most dreaded complications after total joint arthroplasty [1]. There is no gold standard for diagnosing PJI, hence, a clinician who encounters a suspected PJI case, ought to use a combination of tests. All of which, besides their expense can be invasive and even this can’t provide 100% accuracy [2]. Several biomarkers have been introduced that are potentially reliable tools for diagnosing PJI [3]. In this article, we aimed to review the current diagnostic measures of PJI with a special focus on molecular biomarkers.
