Mid-term Results of 1-stage Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty for Periprosthetic Joint Infection With a Sinus Tract.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients presenting with a sinus tract over total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are challenging cases of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). A 2-stage revision TKA has long been considered the gold standard for the management of PJI. At our institution, approximately 85% of patients with PJI, including patients with a sinus tract, undergo 1-stage revision TKA.

Purpose

We sought to evaluate rates of reinfection and reoperation and predictors of failure of 1-stage revision TKA in patients with a concomitant sinus tract.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed patients with PJI and a sinus tract overlying TKA who underwent 1-stage revision TKA following a well-defined surgical protocol at our institution between January 2001 and December 2018. Of 170 patients included
