Abstract
The perceived wisdom in orthopaedics precludes insertion of implants in cases of post-recent active joint sepsis. However, revision knee surgery after infected arthroplasty has now been recognised to be safe and efficacious in specialised centres. We illustrate the concept of using principles of revision surgery to successfully treat knees destroyed by primary staphylococcal septic arthritis.
