Septic knee prosthesis revision; Two stages; Antibiotic holiday |
| Core Tip |
Optimising the outcomes of the two-stage revision process for infected hip and knee arthroplasty patients is a crucial topic to address. We wish to highlight that there is no evidence against the use of continuous antibiotic treatment in two-stage septic hip and knee joint arthroplasty. Furthermore, the optimal duration of antibiotic holidays has yet to be determined. |
