Salvage of bilateral knee arthroplasties with Pseudomonas infection. A case report.
The treatment of infection after knee arthroplasty presents difficult medical and technical problems. Adequate control of the infection by appropriate antibiotic treatment and arthrodesis is no longer the only alternative to surgical management of the infected implant. Successful reimplantation can be achieved, although the quality of arthroplasty is often inferior to that of noninfected per primam arthroplasty.
