Infected Knee Replacement in Bangalore – Advanced Infection Management at Aviva Ortho
Experiencing pain, swelling, or drainage from your replaced knee joint? You could be dealing with a prosthetic joint infection. At Aviva Ortho and Sports Injury Clinic, we specialize in diagnosing and treating Infected Knee Replacements in Bangalore, offering both surgical and non-surgical solutions to eliminate infection, preserve joint function, and restore quality of life.
What is an Infected Knee Replacement?
An infected knee replacement (also called a periprosthetic joint infection or PJI) occurs when bacteria invade the artificial knee joint after surgery. This may happen soon after surgery (acute infection) or even years later (chronic infection). Symptoms often include redness, warmth, pain, stiffness, and fluid discharge from the surgical site.
Signs & Symptoms to Watch For
- Increased knee pain, swelling, or warmth
- Persistent drainage or pus from the wound
- Fever or chills indicating systemic infection
- Stiffness or reduced range of motion
- Loosening or instability of the knee implant
Treatment Options for Infected Knee Replacements
- Antibiotic therapy (IV or oral) for mild or early-stage infections
- Debridement and implant retention (DAIR procedure)
- One-stage or two-stage revision surgery for severe or chronic infections
- Spacer placement followed by reimplantation in staged revisions
- Multidisciplinary infection control with microbiology and infectious disease teams
