Abstract
Abstract. The data on long-term antibiotic use following debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) for treatment of periprosthetic joint infections are limited. In this single-center retrospective study, we show that patients with eventual cessation of antibiotic suppression after DAIR had similar outcomes to those who remained on chronic antibiotic suppression.
