Short summary
Arthroplasty after septic arthritis (SA) raises diagnostic and therapeutic questions. We report on 49 knee and hip arthroplasties following SA. Median SA-to-arthroplasty interval was 32 weeks, and one-stage arthroplasty was performed in 43 episodes. No SA relapse but 5 new prosthetic joint infections occurred with an infection-free survival rate of 96 % at 2 years. Arthroplasty may be a post-SA option, even within a short period of time but requires specific management and prolonged monitoring.
