Abstract
Our protocol for I&D/L was successful in the majority of patients who met strict criteria. We recommend that PJI patients with MRSA or P aeruginosa not undergo I&D/L and be treated with 2-stage revision. For nearly all other patients, our protocol avoids the cost and patient morbidity of a 2-stage revision.
