Hip and knee surgeons:
Still using Big Ortho to diagnose PJIs?

Two peer-reviewed numbers:
→ ~$3,916 = cost-effectiveness ceiling (Torchia 2019)
→ ~$400 = OrthoKEY (Tipton 2026, n=2,011)

~90% below the ceiling.

Pathogen ID + resistance genes + biomarkers + ~24-48h turnaround time from receipt sample.

Molecular diagnostic claims get denied. Usually not because the test was unnecessary.

The denial is almost always a documentation mismatch. A missing Z code. The wrong primary diagnosis position. A clinical story the payer system could not follow.

It has has come to our attention that CDL Labs may have suspended Zimmer Biomet's Synovasure PJI sample processing. If your practice has been affected:
• OrthoKey PJI OR + OrthoKey PJI Clinic- both fully operational
• qPCR + NGS + Biomarkers
• Results often within 24 hours
• OR and in-clinic versions available

AAOS 2026: DAIR failure with empiric therapy = 55.7%. With tailored therapy = 39.5% (P=0.002). Knowing the pathogen matters. 🔬 https://t.co/BDu9xBDvdZ #PJI #AAOS2026 #Orthopedics

In sepsis, every hour to the right antibiotic affects outcomes. NGS testing identifies the organism and resistance markers within 48 hours - even after antibiotics have already been started. Earlier data. Better treatment decisions. #Sepsis #CriticalCare #AntimicrobialStewardship #SCCM2026

Understanding the IUD microbiome 🧬
Symptomatic IUD removals showed:
⬆️ Higher bacterial load
⬆️ More non-Lactobacillus taxa

MicroGenDX uses NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) + qPCR to quantify what culture may miss.
