Core Tip
Core tip: Periprosthetic joint infections of the hip and knee caused by coagulase-negative Staphylococci can be difficult to treat. We retrospectively reviewed all patients treated with two-stage revision arthroplasty for such an infection in our hospital between 2003 and 2016. We treated 44 patients with coagulase-negative Staphylococci infection of the hip or knee with a two-stage revision using an antibiotic-loaded spacer. At final follow-up, infection was eradicated in 33 of these patients.
