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. Successful eradication was achieved in 36 of 47 cases. Multiple variables were analysed to explore their influence on the outcome of two-stage revision surgery. 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.
