Abstract
This study is the first to investigate the risk of acute infection following injection of corticosteroid into a pre-existing TKA. Given the dire consequences of infection following TKA, the routine use of IACI into a pre-existing TKA should be avoided, and a thorough workup should be performed in any patient with a painful TKA prior to consideration of IACI.
