Akgun D, et al. - An inquiry was set up with regard to the incidence of positive cultures during the second stage of a two-stage revision arthroplasty. Furthermore, the researchers gauged the link between positive cultures and an infection-free outcome. An independent connection was unveiled between positive culture at re-implantation with subsequent failure. Surgeons were cautioned regarding this link and were recommended to consider the medical optimisation of patients with severe comorbidities both prior to and during treatment.
