| Core Tip |
We report a unique case of fungal periprosthetic joint infection further complicated by ipsilateral intertrochanteric fracture following total knee arthroplasty. We demonstrate that therapy including prosthesis removal, exhaustive debridement, and arthrodesis after effective antifungal therapy may be adequate for controlling such infections. Additionally, internal fixation of ipsilateral intertrochanteric fractures following such infections may be safe if clinical and laboratory investigation suggests resolution of the former infection. |
