Abstract
- Determining the presence of bacteria in the shoulder prior to shoulder arthroplasty can be challenging especially in the case of revision arthroplasty. An open biopsy provides an opportunity to obtain tissue samples with minimal patient morbidity. The purpose of this study was to characterize the diagnostic utility of an open shoulder biopsy.
