Abstract
Other than aseptic loosening, deep infection is the most frequent mode of failure of total knee arthroplasty. The prevalence of deep infection has ranged from 0.5 per cent after primary procedures in patients who have osteoarthrosis [24] to as high as 16 per cent after hinged arthroplasty [50]. WithKeywords
