Abstract

A periprosthetic joint infection is a devastating complication after total joint arthroplasty. While patients with a chronic infection are treated with one-stage or two-stage revision, some patients with an acute infection may be treated with irrigation and debridement with component retention. The purpose of this chapter is describe the indications, contraindications, surgical technique and published results on irrigation and debridement with polyethylene liner exchange and component retention.
