Deep infection after total knee replacement is serious. Two-stage reimplantation offers the most successful functional outcome for eradicating infection and restoring knee function.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Arthroplasty

Background:

  • Deep infection is a severe complication after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
  • Prompt diagnosis and effective treatment are crucial for successful TKA outcomes.
  • Various treatment strategies exist, each with specific indications and success rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review treatment options for deep infections following total knee arthroplasty.
  • To identify the most successful functional approach for managing infected TKA.
  • To emphasize the importance of multidisciplinary efforts in infection eradication.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current treatment modalities for infected TKA.
  • Analysis of the efficacy of different salvage options.

  • Highlighting the role of surgical and infectious disease collaboration.

    • Main Results:

    • Multiple treatment options are available, including antibiotic suppression, debridement, resection arthroplasty, arthrodesis, two-stage reimplantation, and amputation.
    • Two-stage reimplantation demonstrates the highest success rate for functional recovery.
    • Successful management requires significant commitment from surgical and infectious disease teams.

    Conclusions:

    • Two-stage reimplantation is the most successful functional option for infected total knee replacements.
    • Aggressive, coordinated efforts are essential for eradicating deep joint infections.
    • Prioritizing two-stage reimplantation when feasible maximizes the chances of a good functional outcome post-infection.
