Short summary
This study provides a comprehensive overview of a frequently used treatment strategy for chronic prosthetic joint infection of the hip and knee. Forty-seven patients met the inclusion criteria.

No variables were found to have a significant influence. Mean follow-up of over 10 years provides a good perspective of the long-term outcome.
