Suction-Powered Intramedullary Bone Debridement Technology Compared to Conventional Curettage in Infected Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty
SPBH is an effective tool for debridement of intramedullary canal during revision TKA. SPBH led to a significant increase of debrided mass in significantly less time than CC. There was no difference in positive culture yield between the 2 debridement techniques. This debridement technique merits consideration to reduce bioburden in revision TKA.
