Popis: A cell count and differential was obtained on synovial fluid samples from 79 total knee arthroplasties undergoing revision for aseptic failure over a 5-year period. The mean white blood cell count (WBC) was 782/mL (range, 11-7,200/mL). The mean percentage of monocyte cells was 87%, and the mean polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PML) cell count was 13%. Eight patients (10.4%) had leukocyte cell counts >2,000. Five knees in 4 patients with rheumatoid arthritis had PML counts >50%. There was a single postoperative infection. In patients with osteoarthritis as a primary diagnosis, a synovial WBC of
