Abstract
- For most orthopedists, total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been regarded as the most effective surgery for patients with severe knee diseases. Though seldom occur, postoperative infection certainly remains one of the most devastating and dreaded complications of TKA. Thus, careful and early diagnosis is needed. After diagnosis, categorize the infection type and choose a rightful and sequential step of treatment are recommended.
