Toward Identifying a Multivariate Correlation of Septic Arthritis With a Machine Learning Approach: Time to Reset the Current Australasian Guidelines? [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objectives To understand the complexity of disease pathology through the prism of septic arthritis, especially the reliability of popular and, yet, arbitrary thresholds like synovial leucocyte counts of ≥ 100,000/μL suggestive of it, with the help of statistical analysis and logistic regression. Methods An anonymized patient dataset comprising

Clinical Presentation, Management, and Prognosis of Pseudogout in Joint Arthroplasty: A Retrospective Cohort Study [PDF]
Introduction: Calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (CPPD), or pseudogout, is rare in prosthetic joints, but can mimic prosthetic joint infection (PJI) according to case reports.

Chondrocalcinosis is common in the absence of knee involvement [PDF]
Introduction: We aimed to describe the distribution of radiographic chondrocalcinosis (CC) and to examine whether metacarpophalangeal joint (MCPJ) calcification and CC at other joints occurs in the absence of knee involvement.
