Popis: | Prosthetic joint infection should be considered as a possible diagnosis in any painful prosthetic joint at any time after the index procedure. Establishing a diagnosis of prosthetic joint infection can be challenging. Once the diagnosis is established, eradication of infection generally requires coordinated surgical and medical care. For a well-established infection, 2 stage revision arthroplasty is generally preferred by the authors. Static or articulating spacers can be used for the first stage. |
