Purpose of study: to analyze the modern approaches to classification of large joints periprosthetic infection (PPI) and evaluate the results of revision surgical interventions in patients with deep PPI of the knee. Patients and methods. One hundred fifty three patients, 51 men and 102 women (mean age 57.3±12.4 years), with deep PPI were operated on. Treatment tactics was determined by the term after primary operation. In early PPI (n=31) sanitation interventions with implant preservation and in late PPI (n=122) – two step interventions with long period between the operations (over 4 weeks) were performed. Results. Follow up made up from 2 to 5 years. Sanitation interventions with implant preservation were successful in71% of patients. In group of patients with late PPI satisfactory results were achieved in 89.6% of cases. On the basis of the obtained data the variants of diagnosis and treatment tactics optimization as well as its adaptation to domestic public health system were proposed.
