abstract = "BACKGROUND: Previous studies have speculated on elevated synovial inflammatory markers in patients undergoing surgical revision for total hip arthroplasty (THA) dislocation. However, this assumption is based on small patient series and a full investigation according to International Consensus Meeting (ICM) criteria has not yet been performed.METHODS: Patients who had aseptic THA dislocation indicated for revision surgery were identified retrospectively. Only patients who had available diagnostic workup according to ICM 2018 criteria, including preoperative and intraoperative parameters, were included. For comparison, we analyzed a matched cohort of patients indicated for aseptic THA revision for other conditions. The 2 cohorts each consisted of 55 patients and were not different regarding age, sex, BMI, or implant fixation.RESULTS: There was no difference in synovial white blood cell count (2,238 ± 2,544 versus 2,533 ± 3,448 c/μL; P = .601), alpha-defensin quotient (0.14 ± 0.11 versus 0.19 ± 0.28; P = .207), or polymorphonuclear neutrophil percentage (% PMN) (36.7 ± 22.6 versus 31.3 ± 24.5%; P = .312) between the groups. In the dislocation cohort, 20% of patients had a synovial white blood cell count of 3,000 c/μL or higher, compared with 18% in the control cohort.
