Abstract
These guidelines are intended for use by infectious disease specialists, orthopedists,
and other healthcare professionals who care for patients with prosthetic joint infection
(PJI). They include evidence-based and opinion-based recommendations for the diagnosis
and management of patients with PJI treated with debridement and retention of the
prosthesis, resection arthroplasty with or without subsequent staged reimplantation,
1-stage reimplantation, and amputation.
