Treatment of periprosthetic joint infections and osteomyelitis

We treat patients with vascular prosthesis infections with long-term antibiotic therapy. The type of antibiotic therapy depends on the microbiological diagnosis. As a rule, patients receive iv antibiotic therapy for six weeks, followed by oral follow-up therapy. The duration of antibiotic therapy is determined by PET/CT.
