INTRODUCTION

Deep infection is a potentially catastrophic complication of joint replacement surgery. Early intervention in suspected prosthetic joint infection in the form of aggressive Debridement and targeted Antibiotics can lead to successful Implant Retention (DAIR). In our centre, we adopt an aggressive approach to suspected prosthetic joint infection, working in a multi-disciplinary team with microbiologists and an infection surveillance team to identify and treat suspected infected cases at the earliest opportunity.

OBJECTIVES

To evaluate the efficacy of the treatment of prosthetic joint infection with DAIR.
