One-Stage vs. Two-Stage Treatment for Prosthetic Joint Infection
Description
At the 2024 AAHKS Annual Meeting, our Digital Health Committee Chair Shaun P. Patel, MD and Committee Member Nathaniel J. Nelms, MD had the pleasure of speaking with Thomas K. Fehring, MD about his study presented at the meeting and the genesis behind it “One-Stage vs. Two-Stage Treatment for Prosthetic Joint Infection: A Prospective, Randomized Trial.”
Infection has always fascinated Dr. Fehring. That interest led him to understanding the purpose of why most standard treatments of care in the US are two-stage where one-stage is usually the preferrable treatment for Europeans. Understanding this is a very radical surgery, Dr. Fehring was completely surprised at what he uncovered.
I think you’ll be just as surprised, listen and learn which had better results – one-stage or two-stage.
Enjoy, and thanks for listening to AAHKS Amplified!
