Summary
This study looked at 343 adults with infections in their artificial hip or knee joints. It compared two common surgeries: one-stage (removing and replacing the joint in one operation) and two-stage (removing the joint, treating the infection, then replacing it later). The main goal was to see which approach better prevents the infection from coming back within a year.
