Abstract Purpose of Review To review the diagnosis and treatment of prosthetic joint
infection (PJI) with a focus on two-stage revision arthroplasty. The text will discuss different …

Use of articular antibiotic-eluting cement spacers during two-stage revision arthroplasty for
prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a long-established and proven adjunctive technique during …

Background Two-stage exchange arthroplasty is a standard approach for treating total knee
arthroplasty periprosthetic joint infection in the United States, but whether this should be …

Periprosthetic infection after total knee arthroplasty is a devastating complication, and two-
stage exchange is the standard of care in North America. Articulating and static spacers …

Recommendation: Articulating spacers appear to provide better range of motion and less
functional limitations to the patients undergoing resection arthroplasty and should be used …

Background The optimal type, characteristics, and success rates of articulating antibiotic
spacers used during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) have not …

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is one of the most devastating postoperative complications
of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Treatment varies depending on the type of infection, but two …

Revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the treatment of choice in patients with
periprosthetic joint infection. It may be performed in either a single stage or two stages. In the …

Eighteen patients with periprosthetic joint infection (11 hips and 7 knees) treated by
prosthetic articulating spacers retained their spacers and were followed up at an average of …

Although articulated cement spacers are frequently used in a staged approach of an infected
total knee arthroplasty (TKA), no data are available on the incidence and type of spacer …
