RECOMMENDATION: The presence of humeral stem loosening and cloudy synovial fl uid should raise suspicion for shoulder PJI. Gross intra-articular pus (without a mechanical or rheumatologic explanation) or the presence of a sinus tract, communicating with the implant, are pathognomonic for periprosthetic shoulder infection.
