One-stage reimplantation for infected total knee arthroplasty

SB Goksan and MA Freeman

Royal London Hospital, Whitechapel, England.

One-stage reimplantation for the salvage of infected total knee arthroplasty in 18 patients was reviewed at an average follow-up of five years. There had been one recurrence and one new infection, both in rheumatoid patients with another focus of infection. In four other patients the clinical result was impaired by pain after walking (2) and limited flexion (2). Our results suggest that one-stage reimplantation is a reasonably reliable procedure for the management of a loose infected prosthesis.
