Our results confirm that it is appropriate to include a pH measurement in the diagnostic spectrum of hip and knee replacements. This diagnostic approach has the potential to provide continuous in vivo feedback, facilitated by specialized biosensors. The advantage of this method is the future incorporation of a pH-detecting sensor into intelligent knee and hip replacements that will assess pH levels over time. By integrating these biosensors into intelligent implants, the early detection of joint replacement infections could be achieved, enhancing proactive intervention strategies.
