Abstract:
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication of total joint arthroplasty. We reviewed the current data on DAIR procedures and two-stage exchange for periprosthetic knee infection. This case study illustrates successful treatment of an acute PJI using a debridement and implant retention (DAIR) technique with adjuvant intraosseous (IO) vancomycin. (Journal of Surgical Orthopaedic Advances 30(4):249-252, 2021).
