This review aims to survey the current state of the techniques and technologies used for the diagnosis of PJI, investigating the accuracies of serum biomarkers (e.g., C-reactive protein, Interleukin-6, procalcitonin, D-dimers, Serum Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1), synovial biomarkers (e.g., Antimicrobial peptides, lipocalin-2, leukocyte esterase, calprotectin), tissue biomarkers (e.g., Toll-like receptors, CD15) and advanced molecular techniques (e.g., Polymerase chain reaction, Metagenomic next-generation sequencing), as well as describing their ongoing limitations. This evidence concerns the gene CRP and juvenile polyposis syndrome.
