A case for one-stage revision in infected total knee arthroplasty?
Summary of "A case for one-stage revision in infected total knee arthroplasty?"
Infection in total knee replacement is a rare but devastating complication. The current literature tends to support a two-stage revision as definitive treatment of established deep infection. Despite the fact that single stage revision is a well recognised treatment for the infected hip replacement, it has not gained the same level of support in the knee. This article reviews the literature of two-stage and single stage revision and reports the senior author's experience with the latter.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Arthroplasty, Replacement, Knee
Replacement of the knee joint.
Arthroplasty, Replacement
Partial or total replacement of a joint.
Mesocestoides
A genus of tapeworm, containing several species, found as adults in birds and mammals. The larvae or cysticercoid stage develop in invertebrates. Human infection has been reported and is probably acquired from eating inadequately cooked meat of animals infected with the second larval stage known as the tetrahythridium.
Arthroplasty, Replacement, Finger
Partial or total replacement of one or more FINGERS, or a FINGER JOINT.
Knee Injuries
Injuries to the knee or the knee joint.
