Staphylococcus aureus prosthetic joint infection treated with prosthesis removal and delayed reimplantation arthroplasty.
To estimate in patients with Staphylococcus aureus prosthetic joint infection after total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA) the microorganism-specific cumulative probability of treatment failure after prosthesis removal and delayed reimplantation arthroplasty. ⋯ These data suggest that prosthesis removal and delayed reimplantation arthroplasty is an effective treatment to limit the recurrence of S aureus prosthetic joint infection, provided there is no evidence of infection at the time of reimplantation arthroplasty.
