Abstract
Fungal PJIs are rare (0.9% of diagnosed PJIs). Survivorship free of all-cause revision or implant removal was very low in the hip group (44% at 2 years), but slightly better in the knee group (70% at 2 years). Moreover, clinical outcomes were poor with high perioperative complication rates. Improved treatment regimens are needed for this unsolved clinical problem.
