Abstract: Periprosthetic joint infection （PJI） following joint arthroplasty is devastating and technique-demanding. At present， the surgical treatment for PJI includes debridement， antibiotics， and implant retention （DAIR）， single- or two-stage revision， arthrodesis， and amputation. DAIR is appealing to both surgeons and patients as it can avoid unnecessary implants removal， making it less time-consuming and less invasive. In this article， we review the current knowledge in surgical timing， intraoperative details and antibiotics strategy of DAIR.
