Category:AnkleIntroduction/Purpose:Acute hematogenous periprosthetic joint infection(PJI) is defined in the literature as infection diagnosed and treated within two to four weeks from the onset of symptoms. In total hip and knee arthroplasty, irrigation, debridement(I&D) and polyethylene exchange with component retention is the treatment of choice. There is minimal literature evaluating this treatment method for PJI in total ankle arthroplasty (TAA), however, with four patients being the largest sample size. The purpose of this study was to evaluate both the clinical and patient reported outcomes and survivorship of treating PJI in TAA with I&D and polyethylene exchange in patients with acute hematogenous PJIs.Methods:A single center, retrospective chart review of prospectively collected data in patients with TAA PJI who subsequently underwent I&D and polyethylene exchange with retention of metal components was conducted. The primary outcome was failure rate of I&D and polyethylene exchange where failure ...
