On the value and limitations of incorporating a “clean phase” into the surgical treatment of prosthetic joint infections – an illustrative cadaveric study using fluorescent powder

Abstract Purposes A septic revision of an artificial joint is routinely split up in a so‐called dirty phase and a clean phase. The measures taken to initiate the start of the clean phase vary significantly between musculoskeletal infection centers. We performed simulations of one‐step exchanges of i...
