Background An infected total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can be treated with irrigation and
débridement with polyethylene exchange (IDPE) or a 2-staged revision (2SR). Although …

Aims Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication following total knee
arthroplasty (TKA). Two-stage revision has traditionally been considered the gold standard …

Background The aim of this study is to identify risk factors which may lead to treatment failure
following 2-stage reimplantation for chronic infected total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods …

Up to 2% of total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) are complicated by infection. This leads to
dissatisfied patients with poor function, and has social and economic consequences. The …

Purpose We studied the outcome in culture-positive and culture-negative infected total knee
arthroplasty (TKA). Methods We retrospectively reviewed 140 patients with culture-positive …

Background Knee arthrodesis (KA) and above-knee amputation (AKA) have been used for
salvage of failed total knee arthroplasty (TKA) after periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) …
