Short summary
Prosthetic joint infection is a complicated problem, where reinfection can occur. Understanding risk factors for failure helps optimize care. This study investigated if the presence of a draining sinus tract was correlated with failure of two-stage revision. Previous cases were reviewed at our institution over a 10-year period. Patients with a sinus tract were significantly less likely to be replanted compared to those without a sinus tract at presentation.
