Managing the infected arthroplasty: Cleanout, 1-stage, or 2-stage

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The management options for infected shoulder arthroplasty can be divided into those in which an implant is ultimately retained or implanted (i.e., debridement and 1-stage or 2-stage reimplantation), and those in which an implant is no longer used (i.e., resection or arthrodesis). The options that allow the eventual use of an implant result in better shoulder function. Knowledge of their indications and outcomes can help guide the surgeon's decision.
