Abstract

The aim of this study is to assess the results of primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) after bone or joint sepsis about the native knee and to analyze the risk factors of periprosthetic infection. Sixty-two patients (62 knees), considered to have prior sepsis history to be resolved, underwent primary TKA and were followed during a mean of 6.1. years (range, 2-10.4. years). Of the 62 patients, periprosthetic infection occurred in 6 after primary TKA (9.7%). Five of 6 patients grew the same organism as prior infection. The number of prior surgeries undertaken for deep infection was found to be an independent risk factor of periprosthetic infection.
