SAN FRANCISCO — The success rates of one-stage and two-stage treatment for periprosthetic joint infection may be similar, according to 1-year interim data presented at the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons Annual Meeting, here.“We were surprised to find that in a contemporary American cohort with prospective data, one-stage and two-stage exchange at 1 year had similar results. Our bias from previous research in America was that two-stage [exchange] may have better outcomes,” Jesse E. Otero, MD, PhD, of OrthoCarolina Hip and Knee Center, told Healio.
