Periprosthetic joint infections in megaprosthesis? A database analysis for cases caused by less frequent pathogens

Objectives: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devestating but rare complication in any case of total joint arthroplasty, but infection rates appear to be much higher in megaprosthesis (15–43%). Revision of megaprosthesis is a highly complex procedure associated with massive bone [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
