Abstract
Background: The cause of early septic failure after two-stage exchange revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for chronic periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) and the factors affecting it are not well known. The purpose of this study was to determine the surgical outcomes and the risk factors for early septic failure after two-stage revision TKA for chronic PJI.
Methods: We identified a total of 246 adult patients who met the Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) diagnostic criteria for chronic PJI at two academic tertiary hospitals from March 2012 to December 2018. Finally, 151 patients who consecutively received two-stage exchange revision TKA for chronic PJI and who had a minimum 3-year follow-up were enrolled and retrospectively reviewed. Successful surgical treatment was evaluated for two-stage revision TKA and risk factors for early septic failure were identified.
Results: Early septic failures occurred within 3 years after reimplantation in 48 patients (31.8%). After accounting for potentially confounding variables, we found that male patient [odds ratio (OR): 2.753, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.099-6.893, p = 0.031], fungus or mycobacterial infection (OR: 5.224, 95% CI 1.481-18.433, p = 0.01), and positive culture at reimplantation (OR: 4.407, 95% CI 1.255-15.480, p = 0.021) were independently associated with early septic failure after two-stage exchange revision TKA.
Conclusion: Male patients, fungus or mycobacterial infection, and positive culture at reimplantation were independently associated with an increased risk of early septic failure after two-stage exchange revision TKA despite normal C-reactive protein values prior to reimplantation. Further prospective and high-quality studies are needed to determine the risk factors of two-stage exchange revision TKA for chronic PJI.
Level of evidence: level IV; retrospective comparison; treatment study.

The Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, the official open access peer-reviewed journal of the Italian Society of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, publishes original papers reporting basic or clinical research in the field of orthopaedic and traumatologic surgery, as well as systematic reviews, brief communications, case reports and letters to the Editor. Narrative instructional reviews and commentaries to original articles may be commissioned by Editors from eminent colleagues. The Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology aims to be an international forum for the communication and exchange of ideas concerning the various aspects of orthopaedics and musculoskeletal trauma.
