Abstract
Debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) with polyethylene exchange may be indicated in early postoperative infection (<4 weeks) or acute hematogenous infection (<4 weeks of symptoms) in patients with infected total ankle arthroplasty (TAA), although recurrent infection has been seen. Suffcient clinical evidence is lacking. Consensus. Agree: 100%, Disagree: 0%, Abstain: 0% (Unanimous, Strongest Consensus).
