One-stage Versus Two-stage Revision of the Infected Knee Arthroplasty

A two-stage approach is the standard surgical procedure in the treatment of the chronically infected knee arthroplasty, but promising results have been reported after a one-stage approach from single-centre studies. The potential benefits for the patients treated with a one-stage approach are many as they only have to go through surgery and rehabilitation once with shorter total length of hospital stay. However, no randomized controlled trials comparing outcome after the procedures have been performed so far.
