Abstract

 

The IL-6 content has been investigated in patients with the hip periprosthetic infection in the process of surgical treatment. According to the data obtained, it is possible to predict the absence of infection recurrence for six coming months of the postoperative period for the following IL-6 values: ≤ 6 pg/ml before surgery, ≤ 7 pg/ml 7, 21, 30 – 45 days after surgery. When IL-6 values increased as follows: ≥11 pg/ml before surgery, ≥19 pg/ml 3 days, ≥8 pg/ml 21 days, ≥18 pg/ml 30-45 days after surgery, there was high probability of infection complication development.

Key words
