• MolecuLight identified additional fluorescent areas after standard radical debridement in all ten cases. — Can a fluorescent imaging device (MolecuLight) function as an adjunct to surgical debridement during revision knee arthroplasty for periprosthetic infection in a tertiary centre: a feasibility study
• The study did not establish that fluorescence-guided debridement improves clinical outcomes or infection control. — Can a fluorescent imaging device (MolecuLight) function as an adjunct to surgical debridement during revision knee arthroplasty for periprosthetic infection in a tertiary centre: a feasibility study
• MolecuLight was assessed as an adjunct after standard radical debridement during revision knee arthroplasty for chronic periprosthetic joint infection. — Can a fluorescent imaging device (MolecuLight) function as an adjunct to surgical debridement during revision knee arthroplasty for periprosthetic infection in a tertiary centre: a feasibility study
• MolecuLight detects endogenous fluorescence from common wound bacteria without requiring contrast agents or topical tracers. — Can a fluorescent imaging device (MolecuLight) function as an adjunct to surgical debridement during revision knee arthroplasty for periprosthetic infection in a tertiary centre: a feasibility study
• The study supports the feasibility of using MolecuLight intraoperatively because it identified fluorescent areas in every patient and yielded microbiological confirmation in most cases. — Can a fluorescent imaging device (MolecuLight) function as an adjunct to surgical debridement during revision knee arthroplasty for periprosthetic infection in a tertiary centre: a feasibility study
