摘要: Infection after total knee arthroplasty may require different therapeutical solutions: one- or two-stage revision, surgical debridement and suppressive antibiotic therapy, arthrodesis, amputation. Two-stage reimplantation using an interval spacer of antibiotic-impregnated bone-cement has been investigated previously as a method to eradicate infection, prevent limb shortening stiffness [1, 2, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 18, 19, 21].
