Periprosthetic joint infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality following total joint arthroplasty. Two-stage arthroplasty, with the use of an antibiotic cement spacer, is an effective means of managing periperiprosthetic joint infections. There is a lack of data relating to the management, prognosis, and clinical outcomes associated with multiple peri-prosthetic joint infections. Here, we present a case report of a patient successfully treated for three synchronic peri-prosthetic joint infections of both knees and a single hip.
人工关节周围感染是全关节置换术后发病和死亡的主要原因。使用抗生素骨水泥间隔物的两阶段关节置换术是治疗人工关节周围感染的有效方法。目前缺乏关于多次人工关节周围感染的管理、预后和临床结果的数据。在此，我们报告一例成功治疗双膝和单髋同步发生的三处人工关节周围感染患者的病例。
