A prospective multicentre study of 82 prosthetic joint infections treated with a standardised debridement and implant retention (DAIR) protocol followed by 6 weeks of antimicrobial therapy: favourable results
The success rate of a standardised DAIR procedure with a 6-week antimicrobial treatment was good in PJI following primary arthroplasties. The success rate following PJI in revision arthroplasty was poor, and other treatment options should be considered.
