Professor Krenn specializes in the histopathology of orthopedic
pathology, focusing on the development of diagnostic classification
and scoring systems: With his working group and in
cooperation with clinical colleagues, he has developed six diagnostic
classifications used internationally for chronic inflammatory
joint diseases (synovitis score), for arthroplasty pathology
(consensus classification of the periprosthetic membrane/
synovial fluid), for prosthesis-associated arthrofibrosis, for bacterial
low-grade infection (CD15 focus score), and the degeneration
score for fibrocartilage as well as the joint particle algorithm.
