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.
In general, the longer the infection has been present, the harder it is to cure without removing the implant. Late infections (those that occur months to years after the joint replacement surgery) and those infections that have been present for longer periods of time almost always require a staged surgery.

Imaging Studies. The main imaging method used in diagnosing joint prosthesis infections is plain radiography. Plain radiographs are particularly useful compared to prior films.
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is one of the most devastating and costly complications following total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Diagnosis and management of PJI is challenging for surgeons.

Causes and Diagnoses of Prosthetic Joint Infections Most prosthetic joint infections are the result of bacteria—often Staphylococcus aureus—present in the body or introduced during the surgery itself or subsequent procedures.
A prosthesis is a device designed to replace a missing part of the body, or to make a part of the body work better. The metal prosthetic device in knee joint replacement surgery replaces cartilage and bone which is damaged from disease or aging.
The management of prosthetic joint infection involves both surgery and antimicrobial therapy. The classic surgical options include one-stage or two-stage implant exchange, resection arthroplasty (with or without arthrodesis), or débridement with implant retention. Treatment failure occurs in 11 to 35% of patients.
Artificial joint infection symptoms — People who develop infections immediately after joint replacement surgery typically have pain, redness, and swelling at the joint or drainage from the wound.
