Abstract
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains one of the most common complications after total joint arthroplasty. It is challenging to manage, associated with significant morbidity and mortality, and is a financial burden on the health care system. Failure of 2-stage management for chronic PJI is not uncommon. Repeat infections are oftentimes polymicrobial, multiple drug-resistant microorganisms, or new organisms. Optimizing the success of index 2-stage revision is the greatest prevention against failure of any subsequent management options and requires a robust team-based approach.
