Reproducibility of pathologic scoring systems for periprosthetic adverse local tissue reactions: A cross-sectional study

Several previous studies have described broad histologic classifications of peri-prosthetic reactions that likely reflect the underlying mechanism of arthroplasty failure; however, a consensus has not yet been reached about the relative importance of individual observations.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the inter-examiner repeatability of commonly used histopathologic grading methods, and to determine the utility of assigning a more...
