Periprosthetic Joint Infection — Principles
Diagnosis uses consensus criteria (MSIS/ICM) combining major and minor criteria. Classify by timing: early (24 mo) — guides biofilm maturity and strategy. Treatment options: DAIR (debridement, antibiotics, implant retention), one‑stage or two‑stage revision; chronic suppression in poor hosts.
