ABSTRACT
The total number of total knee and hip joint arthroplasties is constinuously rising, due to an increasing population of physically active elderly patients. For primary elective arthroplasties, the infection risk ranges between I and 2%, but equals to a high morbidity, costs and complications for the individual infected patient. Diagnosis and management of prosthetic joint infections are improving. We review the latest consensus on the diagnosis and management of these infections and reveal some insight in still debated issues.
