One-Stage Revision Arthroplasty in the Infected Total Knee Arthroplasty

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

A single-stage exchange arthroplasty is becoming an increasingly viable option in patients with chronic periprosthetic knee infections. In this chapter, we discuss the history of a single-stage exchange, its advantages, patient inclusion criteria, the surgical technique, role of antibiotics, and outcomes in terms of infection eradication, functional outcome, and economic impact.
