Outcomes of Debridement, Antibiotics, and Implant Retention in the Management of Infected Total Knee Arthroplasty: Analysis of 5,178 Cases From the National Australian Registry
These findings underscore the critical influence of patient-related factors and the timing of DAIR treatment on the need for additional surgery. DAIR after four weeks had an increased risk of subsequent revision, and older women undergoing early DAIR interventions had more favorable outcomes. Understanding these nuances aids in optimizing periprosthetic joint infection management strategies, offering insights for decision-making.
