Prosthesis-related infection is a serious complication for patients after orthopedic joint replacement, which is currently difficult to treat with antibiotic therapy. Consequently, in most cases, removal of the infected prosthesis is the only solution to cure the infection.
If a knee replacement infection goes deeper than the skin and tissue around a joint, it may need to be treated surgically. Surgical treatment options include: Debridement: This is a surgical washout of the joint. Any contaminated soft tissue is removed, and the artificial joint is cleaned.
If an infection occurs within the joint, you will likely have increasing pain in the joint as well as some of the above symptoms. Infections in the incision usually occur within a few days of surgery, while the skin is healing. However, joint infections can occur days to years later.
