Two-stage revision for prosthetic joint infection: predictors of outcome and the role of reimplantation microbiology.
- Abstract:
-
OBJECTIVES: We describe rates of success for two-stage revision of prosthetic joint infection (PJI), including data on reimplantation microbiology. METHODS: We retrospectively collected data from all the cases of PJI that were managed with two-stage revision over a 4 year period. Patients were managed with an antibiotic-free period before reimplantation, in order to confirm, clinically and microbiologically, that infection was successfully treated. RESULTS: One hundred and fifty-two cases we...
