Diagnostic value of the CD  15 focus score in two-stage revision arthroplasty of periprosthetic joint infections : High specificity in diagnosing infect eradication.

CONCLUSION: In all cases (n = 112), periimplant synovial tissue (SLIM) with variable fibroblastic cellularity, capillary proliferation, leukocytic infiltration, fibrin deposition, new formation of woven bone and detection of PMMA particles was observed. These cases were classified as type IX perispacer synovialis/SLIM: type IX‑A with histopathological infection eradication and type IX‑B with histopathological infection persistence.
