What Is the Role of Molecular Techniques for Detection of Pathogen Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) (Polymerase Chain Reaction [PCR] or Next-Generation Sequencing) in Patients With Infected Total Ankle Arthroplasty (TAA)?
Molecular techniques, particularly next-generation sequencing and the Ibis T5000 technology, have the potential to be used as an important adjunct in the diagnosis of bacterial infection following total ankle arthroplasty (TAA), although sufficient clinical evidence is lacking.
