Abstract

Periprosthetic knee joint infection is a rare complication. However, patients as well as surgeons have to deal with severe problems. The past years have brought new knowledge on periprosthetic knee joint infections which have resulted in new classifications. The present manuscript evaluates the current literature on this topic and presents a new therapeutic algorithm.
