Who is studied
The study population will comprise of patients who have had a previous total knee arthroplasty (TKA), presenting with clinical and laboratory findings concerning for a chronic TKA prosthetic joint infection (PJI) undergoing staged surgical management consisting of resection arthroplasty followed by mobile antibiotic spacer placement. Patients who have had prior surgical treatment of a PJI and are less than 18 years of age will not be included in the study population.
