Benefits and Adverse Events Associated With Extended Antibiotic Use for One Year Following Periprosthetic Joint Infection in Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Prospective Cohort Analysis
This prospective cohort study supports our previous observations that extended antibiotics for one year were associated with lower failure rates as compared to primary antibiotics alone. Extended antibiotics after primary antibiotics were not found to be associated with increased AEs as compared to only primary antibiotics.
