Introduction Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) occurs in 0.5%–2% of total joint arthroplasties (TJAs) and is one of the most devastating complications.1 With an aging population and a rapid increase in TJAs, the number of PJIs is also predicted to grow exponentially.2 Two-stage exchange arthroplasty remains the standard management protocol for chronic PJI; however, its failure rates, as reported in the literature, remain alarming, ranging from 14% to 45% according to different assessment...
