The goal of this observational study is to asses the natural course of blood homocysteine levels in patients who underwent primary total joint arthroplasty surgery. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * İs homocysteine a good marker for determining periprosthetic joint infection ? * İs homocysteine more sensitive marker for periprosthetic joint infections ?
Interventions
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTBlood works for homocysteine levels
In a single patient group of 80 people, the natural course of homocysteine after total joint arthroplasty will be examined by blood work analyzes at the 1,2,3,4 and 6th weeks after operation
