Clinical outcomes of an unplanned second debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR) procedure in acute postoperative prosthetic joint infections
Unplanned second DAIR procedures are associated with significantly lower success rates at two years. Nonetheless, given that nearly half of these patients remained free of failure, a second DAIR may still be a reasonable therapeutic option in selected cases, provided that the increased risk of a poorer prognosis is taken into account.
