Description

The serum erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are the major important markers of per prosthetic joint infection. The ESR and CRP values are the important diagnostic inflammatory markers. Thus, the early and appropriate diagnosis is the most appropriate strategy to promote the functional outcomes of the orthopaedic patients. The present prospective observational study was conducted at Government Medical College and Hospital, Jammu, JKUT in the orthopaedic department with the aim to evaluate the trends of ESR and CRP in the first 3 weeks after uncomplicated THR. A total of 20 patients underwent uncomplicated THR were involved in the study. It was reported that the mean age of the patients was 55.95±8.24 years and majority of the patients were males (90%). It was found that there was a peak of ESR and CRP levels on third post-operative day, which gradually decreases on 7th, 12th and 3rd weeks after surgery. It was concluded that there was significant increase in ESR and CRP trends on third post-operative day which shows the inflammation.

 

 

Abstract (English)

The serum erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are the major important markers of per prosthetic joint infection. The ESR and CRP values are the important diagnostic inflammatory markers. Thus, the early and appropriate diagnosis is the most appropriate strategy to promote the functional outcomes of the orthopaedic patients. The present prospective observational study was conducted at Government Medical College and Hospital, Jammu, JKUT in the orthopaedic department with the aim to evaluate the trends of ESR and CRP in the first 3 weeks after uncomplicated THR. A total of 20 patients underwent uncomplicated THR were involved in the study. It was reported that the mean age of the patients was 55.95±8.24 years and majority of the patients were males (90%). It was found that there was a peak of ESR and CRP levels on third post-operative day, which gradually decreases on 7th, 12th and 3rd weeks after surgery. It was concluded that there was significant increase in ESR and CRP trends on third post-operative day which shows the inflammation.
